"Technology has changed how we get information, how we entertain ourselves, how we communicate with others, how we do our work, how we teach, and how we learn. This book is also about why you as an individual and as a teacher must change the way you look at the world."
―Ian Jukes, Living on the Future Edge author
A GPS for 21st-century educators
Living on the Future Edge challenges school leaders to rethink longstanding paradigms and transform pedagogy for tomorrow′s learners. Apple Computer, Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak′s foreword underscores the overwhelming need to adjust traditional instruction to fit today′s high-tech world. The book explores this new landscape and offers a compelling vision for the future through the lens of four exponential trends that educators cannot ignore:
- Moore′s Law―processing power and speed multiply exponentially every year
- Photonics― bandwidth is dramatically increasing
- The Internet revolution continues to evolve
- We are living in an age of Infowhelm

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
