For most of my life, I worshipped at the altar of higher education.

I believed if you could only get into a certain tier of university, your life was set.

BUT:

99% of what higher education provides is information via memorization. And information is nowhere near as valuable as Knowledge.

- Information = the past < Knowledge is the ability to use the past to predict the future
- Memorization < Creation

Information is potential energy. Knowledge is kinetic energy.

Higher education institutions that don’t shift their mix of information to knowledge will find they have no place in the future world of Digital Natives. For more, check out our latest @categorypirates mini-book. @lochhead @Nicolascole77
