The Future of the Global Internet Economy
July 9th, 2007 Posted in General
The Net is wearing away the power of institutions that have forgotten how to sound human and how to engage in conversation. The next decade should see the development of a more thoughtful internet. Enabled by information technologies, the pace of learning in the next decade will increasingly be set by student choices. In ten years, most students will spend at least part of their “school days” in virtual classes, grouped online with others who share their interests, mastery, and skills regardless of where they are on the globe. By 2015, as telework and home-schooling expand, the boundaries between work and leisure will diminish significantly. This will sharply alter everyday family dynamics.
