With this book, I am able to do just that. By focusing on ten 21st century technologies, this book serves as a well-researched and thoughtfully-compiled foundation for all educators and administrators; it details what to know, what to embrace now, and what to watch and account for in the near future. -- Jenny Billings, Chair of English and Study Skills, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College A Baseline of Development: Higher Education and Technology, reflects extensive research and clearly explains the vast entrepreneurial potential of new and emerging industries as well as the opportunities for higher education to prepare to educate and train the workforce for jobs that did not exist a mere five years ago. The book also discusses the challenges faced by both community colleges and universities to create the programs of study that will be essential in the education and training of a workforce that is equipped to continue to develop these emerging technologies and to provide technical support as new products are produced. A Baseline of Development: Higher Education and Technology should serve as a wake-up call for institutions of higher education to get ready to meet the challenge of creating a highly trained workforce that will be vitally important as these new industries grow at an exponential rate. -- Frank J.
