The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read; he will be the man who has not learned how to unlearn.

Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.

People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralysing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: overchoice.

Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
