Society has experienced a revolution in the acquisition, processing, and communication of digital information. Technological improvements have transformed early large machines into compact devices that enable, mediate, support, and organize our lives. The Internet and the web, new multi-modal, mobile connecting devices, and the cloud, in combination, are having a far greater impact and adoption speed than any previous technology; and these digital technologies will continue to accelerate. This paper highlights the importance of combining liberal arts skills with digital fluency in the education of the 21st-century professional. This is the single most important aspect that will identify a person as “literate” in the century of information. The transformative experience of the liberal arts has traditionally led to successes across many different fields and it stands to make an even greater impact in the information economy. The core practices that have made liberal arts education so successful over the centuries cannot be replaced by technology. Instead, liberal arts education will interlock perfectly and reciprocally with continued technological advancements. This is the essence of what we are trying to accomplish at Keuka College. In this paper, we present a brief summary of technology evolution and its implications for the labor market, and introduce Keuka College‟s initiative for educating professionals in the globally connected digital world of the 21st century. 2018-03-20T09:03:06Z 2018-03-20T09:03:06Z 2017 Article 2588-1116 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/61412 en ;Vol 33 No 2 application/pdf H. : ĐHQGHN |
