Epilogue Welcome to Cyberschools' preview page. Here you can glimpse the Epilogue. The Revolution's Over Successful revolutions hasten their own demise. The information revolution has done just that. Now we are entering the age of knowledge.
Electronic Platforms The artifacts of the revolution remain, however. They are electronic platforms -- the communications organizations of the late 20th century that have made our swift transition into the age of knowledge possible. Electronic platforms resemble the human brains they feed. They combine concepts, pieces of circuitry, delivery facilities, and content -- all connected in neurological fashion. They are changing the nature of teaching. They are transforming the globe's education systems into cyberschools -- where knowledge is transformed into video and other electronic media textbooks, lectures, demonstrations and the like.
A Transfer of Power Cyberschools provide a transfer of power to individuals -- power to transform their own lives, no matter where they live. In a few years electronic platforms will be cheap enough to allow virtually all people access to education. No one existing company, industry, or institution can facilitate this change; there is room for all to participate in this new age of knowledge. The education renaissance has begun.
