Likewise, who can doubt that new networking technologies and client-server systems are a driving force in the radical restructuring and "re-engineering" of our larger corporations? These technologies have clearly provided business with new tools that are eliminating tens of thousands of middle-management jobs devoted to paper-shuffling and routine data reporting? I think it's a good bet that we are still in the early stages of such corporate restructuring.

If I am correct, these changes suggest that we could be on the cusp of a powerful boom in productivity that will ultimately lead to an improved standard of living for everyone. But there will no doubt be more painful side-effects in the working world, including reduced job security and, most ominously, growing gaps between the haves and the have-nots.

As the information revolution progresses, a key challenge for our education systems will be how to prepare our children for a rapidly changing world in which they may end up having a number of different careers, not a lifetime job. Another key challenge will be how education systems can prevent a division of societies into information haves and have-nots.

The enormity of the challenge can be grasped by taking a global perspective. According to a recent article in the Financial Times of London: "Most of the world's population does not even have access to a basic phone line; and that is the best that technology, plus huge investment, is likely to deliver to even a small minority of people within the foreseeable future." Just getting basic phone networks in place in the developing nations will cost $55 billion per year over the next six years, according to the Financial Times.
