A consistent point brought up by most futurists is the need to provide education to both children  and adults. The Special Libraries Association (SLA) believes that schools will become around the-clock facilities. The academic day will stretch to seven hours for children; adults will work a 32-hour week and prepare for their next job in the remaining hours. The SLA believes that new technology enhance these educational opportunities with job simulation stations, telecommunications course-work (distance education), 3-D graphics, and artificial intelligence 
making the largest contributions. The driving force behind educational reform will come from the  new information economy's call for technologically fluent workers. Government will place more emphasis on the outcomes of public education (for example, America 2000). Improved pedagogy will revolutionize learning; learning environments will become less important as individuals will learn more on their own. Computer-supported approaches to learning will allow for more content-specific material to be learned. (Cetrone & Davies, 1994).
