Facebook is used in more than 35 different languages and 170 countries and territories. Source: Mark Zuckerberg, Jan 7, 2009 Twitter now has 105,779,710 registered users.

Growth of the creative class
Since 1950… agriculture = less than 2% working = primarily high school diploma, some have a little bit of college - factory workers, construction workers, food service workers, custodians, truck drivers – low levels of education, highly manual labor service = beauticians, secretaries, paralegals, workers in retail stores, tourism and hotel workers, personal health care assistants creative = scientists, engineers, technology workers, architects, lawyers, doctors, nurses, K-12 educators, university professors, poets, musicians, and entertainers - from 5% in 1900 to 14% in 1945 to 33% in 2008 2005 – Bill Gates - Today, only one-third of our students graduate from high school ready for college, work, and citizenship The first group goes on to college and careers; the second group will struggle to make a living wage. Let's be clear. Thanks to dedicated teachers and principals around the country, the best-educated kids in the United States are the best-educated kids in the world. We should be proud of that. But only a fraction of our kids are getting the best education. Florida, R. (2002). The rise of the creative class (p. 332). New York, NY: Basic Books.

No generation in history has ever been so thoroughly prepared for the industrial age.
David Warlick, Education Technology and 21st Century Learning Expert We desperately need we may not survive without a generation of young people who are imaginative, inventive, fearless learners, and compassionate leaders. Yet, what can we say, as educators, about the students we are producing? We can prove that they can read, do basic math on paper, and they are able to sit for hours filling in bubble sheets. dangerouslyirrelevant.org

Can someone overseas do it cheaper? Can a computer do it faster?
New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce It is becoming progressively less expensive to automate functions that used to be performed by people. As the cost of labor rises and the cost of automating jobs continues to fall, it becomes both possible and necessary for firms simply to eliminate job after job now being done by humans. Earlier, almost all the jobs subject to automation were low-skill jobs. That is no longer true. Now it is more accurate to say that the jobs that are most vulnerable are the jobs involving routine work. If someone can figure out the algorithm for a routine job, chances are that it is economical to automate it. Many good, well-paying, middle-class jobs involve routine work of this kind and are rapidly being automated. [Think tax preparers, lawyers… being replaced by software] Daniel Pink If you say yes to 1 or 2, or no to 3, you’re in trouble Forging relationship rather than executing transactions Tackling novel, complex challenges instead of solving routine problems Synthesizing and connecting disparate parts, thus creating or adding value The capacity to detect patterns and opportunities, to combine seemingly unrelated ideas into something new, to craft a satisfying narrative, to create artistic and emotional beauty Creativity is the ultimate economic resource. The ability to come up with new ideas and better ways of doing things is ultimately what raises productivity and thus living standards. In virtually every industry, the winners in the long run are those who can create and keep creating. This has always been true. As we have moved from an agricultural age to an industrial age to an information age, our primary economic resource no longer is raw materials from the ground or human labor. We have to recognize that information is now the primary and most lucrative raw material.

New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce
Today Indian engineers make $7,500 a year against $45,000 for a similarly-qualified American engineer. Why would the world’s employers pay our engineers more? They would be willing to do that only if we could offer something the Indian engineers cannot. Producing the most important new products and services depends on a deep vein of creativity that is constantly renewing itself, and on a myriad of people who can imagine how people can use things that have never been available before Creativity and innovation, facility with the use of ideas and abstractions, the self-discipline and organization needed to manage one’s work and drive it through to a successful conclusion, the ability to function well as a member of a team, the ability to use digital technologies to do everything just mentioned…

Second to None in Attainment, Discovery, and Innovation: The National Agenda for Higher Education
By the end of President Obama’s first term: the United States will have 3 million more jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree and not enough college graduates to fill them; ninety percent of the fastest-growing jobs, 60 percent of all new jobs, and 40 percent of manufacturing jobs will require some form of postsecondary education; and global competition will demand research and innovation on a scale that even the U.S. is not yet prepared to sustain.

Second to None in Attainment, Discovery, and Innovation: The National Agenda for Higher Education
Today universities in the European Union and Asia are improving rapidly. They now provide competitive educational and research opportunities for brilliant scholars, without requiring them to travel to the U.S. Today 55 percent of young adults in the leading countries have an associate degree or higher. In almost all countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, young adults are better educated than older adults. But in the United States only 40 percent of adults aged 25 to 34 have an associate degree or higher; no improvement over the soon-to-retire baby boom generation. Other countries will almost surely continue to improve. A decade from now, unless we accelerate educational progress, the United States will be far down the list in educational attainment.

College Boards – 5th Annual AP Report To The Nation
With 75 percent of U.S. high school graduates entering college, the nation is steadily democratizing entrance to college.1 But high college dropout rates and the fact that about half of all college freshmen are taking at least one remedial course show that it is not enough simply for secondary schools to help students gain admission. If the U.S. is to succeed in democratizing what really counts — successful college degree completion — the gulf between high school graduation standards and freshman college course requirements must be eliminated.
