Abstract

The passing of the information age is announced and explained, and we are welcomed to its successor and paradigm for the immediate future, the communication age. The vital importance of the communication age to K‐12 education is outlined. Special notice is made of the emerging wide‐bandwidth Internet technology, which allows transmission of “libraries per second”, and which forces changes on both education and business. Will education remain misengaged with attempts to come to grips with the information age, or will it move ahead with the challenges and freedom available through the communication age, with the Internet an integral part of the curriculum?
