Schools, Colleges, Universities and on-site training all are part
of Information Transfer and Technology. Information Technology is the
central enterprise of our society.. IT information transfer,
computers and telecommunication is a bigger part of the economy than the
auto industry, even all of transportation, construction or even government.
Traditional models of teaching and learning based on lectures, books, libraries
and labs is changing into a life-long process of "learning to learn". Careers
are dependent on the constant need to gather information, sort it, find
what you need in the jungle out there and apply new methods to
new problems.
This has been called: (Yahoo Directories)
One of the reasons for economic growth without inflation is because
there has been a major shift in the means of production and distribution.
Traditional economic models based on physical assets and goods ( agriculture,
mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail ) factory utilization, inventory
miss the changing picture of reality. Even
The Federal Reserve (Greenspan
) has noticed the shift in economic activity.
They feel productivity of
IT is
having a important effect but aren't sure how IT
effects the basic economic structure.
The means of production are now intellectual, value is distribution
by services such as educational, medical, financial, design, media, telecommunications,
electrical, and involve global relationships.
The shift is from "objects"
to "forms", from things to concepts and ideas. A big shift, example, best
explained by Fritjoe Capra in physics and Kevin Kelly in Biology
