Knowledge, Learning, Community
Interesting thought. Clarence Fishe wonders if we are in the 'information business'. I don't think so. And I'm not in the 'school' business. I'm not in the 'education' business. I'm not even in the 'learning' business. I'm in the 'how to make the most of your life' business. Which is why I have as much to say about empowerment as I do about remembering things and learning new skills. Because, really, people learn because they want to do things with that learning to make their lives better and happier - and I want them to be able to do those things.
