What are the benefits and challenges of an increasingly information conscious society? What role can information play in improving the conditions of poor people and others who do not derive their full measure from modern life? And how can educators prepare the general population for day- to-day life in a world where sophisticated information sys tems will be commonplace? These and other questions are discussed pragmatically, recognizing that predictions of the future are often ethereal.
