Regardless of your political ideals there is a breath of fresh air coming from our leadership.
Colin Powell appeared on Meet The Press this past Sunday.
He used terms and verbiage previously unheard by this observer.
When he spoke of the need for transformation and generational change I about fell out of my chair.
Generational change is occurring much faster than anyone one can measure or expect. Moore's law comes to mind as it also reflects exponential growth. The catch now is that while the number of processors has certainly doubled every 18 months a ceiling has been hit.
if our children have maxed out their processing power it is only because we have moved into an information age removed from specialized knowledge. If we teach critical thinking then this is fine as the data is available to all.
As Colin suggested we must get beyond rhetoric and hubris. We must lay the groundwork today in order to allow change at a much more rapid pace. This is demanded and critical, not something we can sit back and wait for.
