Description
Summary:This essay presents a series of parameters, which affect the educational world, essential to change a society of information into a society of knowledge. The education renewal supposed to occur as a consequence of this change has a lot to do with the integration of science and technology with society. In a globalize world, science and technology are two universal languages with extreme catalytic importance for a complex whole of processes of social changes. Without them, it is not possible to understand neither the history nor the future. On the other hand, an entirely technological culture will have to be something other than a coherent application of the best technology in each sphere of the human reality. Without a deep reflection upon human dimensions of the new informational and communicational technologies, it will not be possible to understand and control the remarkable role they accomplish nowadays.
