Rapid Rate Of Change

After reading Teaching is a Subversive Activity, I have to say that the one thing that really stood out to me is the same thing that proves I'm in the 25+ age group! In the "Crap Detecting" chapter, the author talked about how change occurs so fast that by the time we catch up with it, it becomes irrelevant because society has already moved on to something else. I believe the reason for all of this is technology and I guess I can point to our 330/530 reading regarding the digital natives versus digital immigrants as an example. Today's generation grew up on technology and while I am a mix of digital native and digital immigrant, I find myself finally catching up, only to find out I should be learning about something else.

I had to giggle at the quote about if you are 25-years-old or older, "you are a walking encyclopedia of outdated information." To that I have just one thing to say: I may be a walking book of useless information, but I'm pretty good at trivia!

On another note, does anybody else have a page 60 with this book/article? I only seem to have the Introduction and Chapters 1-4, which stops at page 58. Am I missing something?
