The Future


I can see the future - we are all wearing silver reflective suits and wrap around tinted visors with inbuilt media receivers. Information pounds us like never ending tidal waves - how will we be able to function in this info-maxed-out future?

There's a rumour of a movement. A movement who's sole aim is train and prepare themselves to rise up at the appointed time, to tame the information tempest. They call their discipline Learning 2.0. They are ordering the chaos, the facts, the photos, the videos; they are recording our histories and broadcasting our opinions.

They are the Cybrarians of the Future.

Can we dare dream of such a hope? I will join these people to learn what I can - our future may depend on it.
