Becoming Techknowledgeable
We are living in a time of accelerating change and complexity where changes in technology, communities, families, work, education, the environment; demographics and global interaction challenge us by outpacing our ability to adjust. One area of dramatic change is the continuing explosion of technology. Technology has been a prime mover in the development of civilization and it reflects and shapes the values of the system in which it develops. Technology provides the eyes, ears and muscle of science. It extends our abilities to see and to change the world. The changes in the twenty-first century will come faster than ever. Fifty per cent of technology becomes obsolete every three years. Mathematics, science and technology will be at the core of our competitive edge in the twenty‑first century only if we are prepared to educate ourselves and our children. More than ever before, we need a population that is literate, numerate and techknowledgeable.
