What is the future of education in a wireless, gizmo-laden, gadget-rich world? It’s interesting that when machination surged during the industrial revolution, bigger was better. To emulate human strength, machines got bigger and became more powerful. However, the opposite is occurring with the technological revolution. Since brain-power is being emulated, innovations trend smaller.
The future is smaller, more compact, less intrusive, more intuitive, and a heck of a lot more fun. The time for implementation is sooner than we think. We no longer live in a linear world. The increase in speed is exponential. It took 70 years for the Telephone to be adopted world wide. It took 40 years for the internet to be adopted world-wide. Cell phones became widespread in less than 10 years. Fasten your seatbelt. (posted 2/23/09)
