Learning to Unlearn and Relearn

I like the way the authors tie together the writings of Toffler and McLuhan with the idea of unlearning in the new economy. This item is filled with links - crammed, in fact - and they could have taken a couple more paragraphs to moderate the flow of ideas. For example: there are two sorts of unlearning, one in which we need to unlearn the rules of the older industrial paradigm as we enter the information age, and one in which learning and unlearning is the normal state of affairs once we are within the information age. These are two very different types of unlearning but in this article any differences are glossed over. And people need to know that unlearning isn't something they need to do just once: it is something that happens on a continuous basis.
