Abstract
Today's children will inherit an information-rich world where knowledge and learning will be a critical part of their lives. Lewis Perelman (1992) suggested:
Learning or education was a task of childhood in preparation for entering adult life and work. Now learning is literally the work of the majority of U.S. jobs and will be what virtually all adults-whether employed, unemployed, or 'on welfare'-will do for a living the early years of the twenty-first century. (p. 23)
Technology is fueling this information-rich environment and enabling a paradigm shift as storage formats change from paper to electronic.
