Need to Change Mindsets “ What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of  locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches?” This “telephone” has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.  The device is inherently of  no value.”
Mindsets cont’d. “ The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty, a fad, a passing fancy.” “ While television may be theoretically feasible, commercially or financially I consider it an impossibility, a development of which we need waste little time dreaming.”
Mindsets, cont’d. “ There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable.  It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” “ No one will want to put a telephone in their car!” Paradigm Paralysis Joel Barker
Exponential Trends Trend 1:  Moore’s Law Suggests that the processing power and speed of any electronic calculating device doubles every 12 months, while at the same time the price for the technology declines by 50%. Exponential growth versus linear growth. Doubling: 1-2-4-8-16-32….15 years/1,000 Tripling:  1-3-9-27-81-243…15 years/20,000
Example of Moore’s Law ? $900 $3,900 $5,000 Cost ? 1600 10 2 Speed (mhz) ? 60g 400k 128k Hard Drive ? 256m 128k 16k RAM 2016 2005 1984 1979 YEAR
Moore’s Law cont’d. “Twice the power for half the price” 2016
Moore’s Law 2016 ?  $1,000 $3,900 $5,000 Cost ? 600 10 2 Speed (mhz) ? 12g 400k 128k Hard Drive ? 128m 128k 16k RAM 2016 2001 1984 1979 YEAR

Trend 2:  The Law of the Photon  What is fast? Dialup modems: 56K, T-1 Cable Modems:  10 megabits per second CD Rom capacity Fiber Optics: 10 gigabits per second What’s next? 10 trillion bits per second Continuing Bandwidth speed and capacity
Trend 3: Internet Revolution Richter Scale up to 10.0; revolution is a 10.5  On-line education, anytime, anywhere Homes on-line
Trend 4:  Age of Infowhelm 3,000 Books published  daily Deterioration of current information New knowledge generated every year: 1.5 Exabytes:  1,000,000,000,000,000,000
Trend 5: Biotechnology Use of biological processes to develop products or create technological solutions to problems Human Genome Project Cloning What’s next?
Trend 6:  Nanotechnology Component stereo systems Boom boxes Miniaturization Virtual Reality Biofeedback

Impact for School Administrators Quarterbacks  Crystal ball New Educational Paradigm Thornburg: “What’s our job?  ..to prepare kids for their future rather than our past or present.”
Summary Quotes “Change is a law of life….those who look to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”  John Kennedy “Power can be contained in a boiler, but mastery exists only in the brain: in other words, that it is ideas, not locomotives that move the world.  Let us not mistake the horse for the rider.”  Victor Hugo
