Tony Wagner, Harvard Education Innovation Fellow, says:
“Today knowledge is ubiquitous, constantly changing, growing
exponentially… Today knowledge is free. It’s like air, it’s like water.
It’s become a commodity… There’s no competitive advantage today in
knowing more than the person next to you. The world doesn’t care what
you know. What the world cares about is what you can do with what you
know.”
Rest of article.
Although his take on the necessity of a "competitive edge" does not mirror my reasons for including it here, his observations, about the system as a whole, which include the words lackluster and downfall, do.
