Ignorance is Luxury

Some simplistic thoughts...

The old saying goes; ignorance is bliss. In the world of tomorrow the blissful ingnorance will also be a thing of luxury.

Education will no-longer be luxury but a basic need. Information will be plentiful and for anyone to grab. Knowledge (applied processed posessed information), however, will define one's chances of surival and success. Information age begets "knowledge age".

Only the rich and powerful will be able to afford being ingnorant. They will be able to pay others to know things for them. They'll be free of the burden of having to forage for knowledge every day.

One gets the most crazy ideas while using white porcelain things...
