These Changes Are Happening Fast
“An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to
the common-sense 'intuitive linear' view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be
more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).”
Ray Kurzweil, The Law of Accelerating Returns (2001).
Given 4:
The Pace of Innovation Will Only Accelerate Further.

Most of World’s New Information is Digital
Analog Schools necessarily become more detached from Learning.
America’s high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I don’t
just mean that they’re broken, flawed or
underfunded, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I
mean our high schools — even when they’re working as designed — cannot teach all our students what they need
to know today.
