Teaching class again thanks to Tammy

Anyway, I was updating some presentations from last year and found one update particularly interesting that has changed. The statistic was last year that 1/2 of the of the information learned the Freshman year would be outdated by the end of the Senior year. (4 year senior, not the longer term college student)

The new statistic is that 1/2 of the information would be outdated by the beginning of the Junior year. So it has cut the time in 1/2.

It goes to prove even stronger that the modern skill is the ability to process vast quantities of information, remove the noise and apply the important pieces.
