The nature of the changes this revolution will bring in the next 20 years can be only dimly perceived, but they will certainly change forever the way an entire nation works, plays, travels, and even thinks.

This educational system will require creation of a national common-carrier information utility accessible to all and reaching every home, an electronic highway system to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas. Information technologies also carry some risks. For instance, while the information-rich sectors of society will probably get richer, the information-poor could lag further behind. The information revolution will bring to bear forces both reducing and increasing the demand for labor. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1981 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
