Forecasting the Technological Future: Directions for Education.
Watkins, Peter
Unicorn, Journal of the Australian College of Education, v12 n2 p81-86 May 1986

Education is better directed toward the more fundamental skills of criticism and reflection on these technological changes in society. (24 references) (CJH)
