Education, yesterday, today and tomorrow

In 1965 Gordon Moore predicted that microprocessors would double every 18 months (Moore’s law) leading to an order-of-magnitude improvement in performance every 5 years. Projecting ahead over the next twenty years, this rate of change would lead to the development of electronic technologies 10,000 times the power of today’s devices. He has since revised this prediction to a slightly slower rate, notwithstanding, the rate of growth in the electronics and computer industry has risen beyond imagination over that last 40 years. Its impact on educations is still being felt. Begging such questions as; ‘What will education be like in the year 2020?’ and ‘What should education be like in the year 2020?’ Technologies enable possibilities but they don’t determine future development. What positive implications will technologies have on education and society more generally?
