During the decade of the 80s, 46% of the companies listed in the
Fortune 500 disappeared.

The Department of Labor estimates that by the year 2000 at least
44% of all workers will be in data services (e.g., gathering,
processing, retrieving, or analyzing information).

From 1980 to 1994, the U.S. contingent workforcetemps,
self-employed, consultantsincreased 57%
Session 1 / Page *
Fading are the 9-5 workdays, lifetime jobs, predictable,
hierarchical relationships, corporate culture security blankets,
and, for a large and growing sector of the workforce, the workplace
itself (replacedby a cybernetics workspace).

Constant training, retraining, job-hopping, and even
career-hopping will become the norm.

Today, 65% of all workers use some type of information
technology in their jobs. By 2000, this will increase to
95%.

Students can no longer prepare bark to calculate problems. They depend instead on expensive slates. What will they do when the slate is dropped and breaks?

write on a slate without getting dust all over themselves. What
will happen when they run out of paper?Principals Association

Maturation of America. Population, shift from a youth orientation
to aging. Political activism pragmatic; workforce growth slows;
more mature workers, challenged by technology and changing job
conditions. More middle aged will start own firms as opportunities
become limited or due to downsizing.The Mosiac Society. diversity,
polarized, tense. Women and minorities in multicultural,
multilingual workforce; child care, flexible work hours. Minorities
seek greater pol influence commensurate with numbers.Redefinition
of Individual and societal roles. Shift in responsibility between
societal sectors and indiv/org. Ed reform emphasize
decentralization of authority (school based mgt); wellness--from
problem-based care to personal resp for living right; fiscal resp
from fed to states; privatization; greater focus on individual
self-sufficiency, less reliance on inst; corporate downsizing&
reduction of bureaucracy. Need flexible workforce that can adapt to
market influences. Information-based economy. Cont advances in
technology; customization; video, audio, and daa transmission with
fiber optic phone system. Mobile. Globalization. EU, regional free

Box 1 (upper left) Today: we are supporting 16 m students, costing
blah blah blah Box 2 (lower box) Workforce Analysts predict that
there will be over 141 million workers in the workforce by the year
2000. In order for these workers to maintain their basic employment
skills in the information age, they will require the equivalent of
30credit hours every 7 years. Thus, there will be approximately 20
million (141/7 years) new learners seeking learning opportunities
every year.Box 3 (upper right) In order to support this many new
learners in our current environment, it would require blah blah
blah. In order to meet this demand one institution would need to
open every eight days.

This was a report of a 1994 American Management Study of 713 major
U.S. Companies.
Over the past five years, 2/3sof US companies haveundergone
downsizing (16.7 milion jobs cut since 1991). American Management
Association annual survey reports that nearly 30% of employers plan
to eliminate jobs this year, the highest percentagein the surveys 8
year history. Typically, the number of firms that actually make
cuts is double the number of those that say they will.Friedman,

Woman, October 1996, pp 25-26.
TELECOMMUTER RANKS EXPANDINGA study released Wednesday by
Telecommute America, a public/privatetelecommuting advocacy group,
says the number of U.S. telecommuters hassurged 30% in the past two
years, to 11 million. That doesn't count thepeople who work at home
full-time but have no corporate office. Meanwhile,one in four
Fortune 1,000 companies now have employees who telecommuteeither
part- or full-time, according to a study released this week by
KPMG.(Tampa Tribune 3 Jul 97)
Reskilling is become a requirement. By the year 2000, 75% of
thecurrent workforce will need to be retrined just to keep up. Am

MAC RAMPS UP TO 300-MHZApple has taken the wraps off its new Power
Mac 6500 -- an "entry-level"model boasting the first-ever 300-MHz
PowerPC 603e microprocessor. Othermodels use chips running at 225,
250 and 275 MHz. "We've been lookingforward to these models," says
Mac retailer. The 300-MHz machine will runabout $2,999 and will
come complete with 64 Mbytes of RAM, a 4-Gbyte harddisk and a Zip
drive. (MacWeek 4 Apr 97)
Internet (upper case I) The vast collection of inter-connected
networks that all use the TCP/IP protocols and that evolved from
the ARPANET of the late 60's and early '70s. The Internet now (July
1995) connects roughly 60,000 independent networks into a vast
global internet.BITNET (Because It's Time Network) -- A network of
educational sites separate from the Internet, but e-mail is freely
exchanged between BITNET and the Internet. Listservs, the most
popular form of e-mail discussion groups, originated on BITNET.
BITNET machines are IBM VMS machines, and the network is probably
the only international network that is shrinking.Yellow

INTERNET USAGE HAS DOUBLEDA study by CommerceNet and Nielsen Media Research concludes that Internetuse has more than doubled in the last 18 months, from 10% to 23% of allpersons in the U.S. and Canada over age 16. A Nielsen executive says: "Notthat long ago, the people using the Web tended to be a rather homogeneousgroup -- young, upscale and rather well educated. The big gains that we'reseeing now are coming from outside that group." (Washington Post 13 Mar 97)\
NET STATSDid you know that Chrysler expects that 25% of its
sales in 2001 will beconducted online (only 1.5% are online
currently)? Or that the estimatednumber of new jobs worldwide
created in 1996 by the Internet was 1.1million? Or that the
estimated total Internet advertising revenues in 1996were $266.9
million? (Internet Index 16 Apr
97)http://www.openmarket.com/intindex/
Learning infrastructure: open democratic, use of technology to
extent the boundaries; increase access to our resources, our
instructional resources not just our library resources. Use the
network to deliver instruction to new educational markets,
nontraditional students. People do not have to come to campus to
get an education. Without diminishing quality in the process.
Maintain if not improve quality
These colleges are ensuring that their graduates are job ready; or
they pay up.St. John Fisher: Rochester, NY. Will pay graduates up
to $5,000 if they cant find professional jobs. Applies to all
students who maintain B- average, m and complete internshipsUniv.
Missorui-Rolla: free year of grad school. if graduates can get
grown-up jobs.U Miami engineering grads--free grad school tuition
worth $17,000.In the past 15 years, tuition costs jumped 90% while
family income inched up 9%. Roots of tuition growth: campus
technology explosion, building booms, and unwillingness of
universities to restructure inefficient operations.
USA Today, Sept 26,1997, p. 14A
Four years ago Peterson's "Distance Learning" guide counted
93"cyberschools" where students could earn degrees without setting
footon campus. In 1997, the list had grown to 762. In "I Got My
DegreeThrough E-Mail" [June 16, 1997 issue of FORBES], Lisa
Gubernick andAshlea Ebeling chart the rise of virtual colleges and
summarize thereasons why the number of students who choose
non-traditional paths togetting an education is increasing
dramatically. The authors presentviewpoints ranging from economists
who hail cyberschools as the bestsolution for college education, to
advocates for the superiority ofin-residence programs. A list of
Forbes' top 20 cyber-universities,along with Web links, is included
in the article.The article is available online
