I just fin­ished my intro­duc­tory arti­cle for my series on the future of print­ing and imag­ing. This is the first in a seriese describ­ing the future of print­ing and what it means for print man­u­fac­tur­ers like BIG Images and the design­ers who cre­ate the art­work. Check it out here: http://www.big-images.com/blog/tradeshow/02/2009/the-future-of-imaging/

I read a great arti­cle on the fail­ings of mod­ern edu­ca­tion in this rapidly evolv­ing world. The author states

Web site devel­op­ment experts said in a recent sur­vey that col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties lag behind in using the lat­est in web design tech­nol­ogy and ignore foun­da­tional lessons that would pro­duce col­lege grad­u­ates ready for the rapidly chang­ing profession.

I can attest to this. Hav­ing recently grad­u­ated from higher edu­ca­tion (recently mean­ing within the past 5 years.) They teach to much about the tool in front of you and not enough about the method­ol­ogy behind why the tool works in the first place.
