"In 1900, knowledge doubled approximately every 100 years. By 1945, this rate accelerated to every 25 years, and by 1982, it was every 13 months. Currently, between 2020 and 2025, some estimates suggest that knowledge is approaching a doubling rate every 12 hours. That's merely the time between breakfast and dinner! Unfortunately, we graduate students with degrees and certificates that, once upon a time, we believed certified current and continuing expertise in a given field. It lasted a lifetime."
"for the following terms so they could continue to keep up with the cutting edge. When it became available, I moved to a new online technology developed by Pyra Labs called web logs, or "blogs." (Later Pyra was acquired by Google as a foundation for blogger.com.) As a result, the curated readings moved to the then-new World Wide Web and became available most everywhere around the globe."
Knowledge growth rates have accelerated dramatically from roughly every 100 years in 1900 to estimates approaching a doubling every 12 hours between 2020 and 2025. Traditional graduate degrees and certificates no longer guarantee lifetime expertise in fast-changing fields. Educators must implement continuous updating mechanisms to prepare students for evolving workplace demands. Curated reading lists helped students identify new research and maintain currency. Transitioning curated resources to web logs and blogs expanded access globally when blogging technology emerged. Curated blog links provided timely access to key articles on important emerging topics.
