Even if the world was ending right this second, we'd probably still be posting on here.

6. Professional knowledge will become obsolete almost as quickly as it's acquired
An individual's professional knowledge is becoming outdated at a much faster rate than ever before. Most professions will require continuous instruction and retraining. Rapid changes in the job market and work-related technologies will necessitate job education for almost every worker. At any given moment, a substantial portion of the labour force will be in job retraining programmes.

It seems to have been written by the kind of people who work in IT. That is, people in IT tend to blame their own inadequacies in articulating relatively simple problems on 'lack of training'. They also tend to be prone to hysterical sci-fi.

Yeah I thought that one didn;t make sense. If that was becoming the case then wouldn't more general degrees like English and History have already become obsolete?

well due to the rate of accelaration of the total sum of human knowledge it doesn't seem unrealistic to consider that people will have to constantly aquaint themselves with new technolgy and ideas for them to be able to work effectively in certain fields

i find the news stories reported on this website make me very optimistic about the future
