Replacement time now



Over the course of the next two years, until the end of 2017, more and more developments will happen to indelibly change the status quo from the world of print and reading to the world of the visual arts and graphic presentation.  The digitization of the world around us and the world outside of our own has fundamentally changed the way people think.  It is painful to see people try to read anymore.  It is also becoming slower in its development in children because the world they live in develops their brain connections (synapses) around entirely new stimuli.  The following two app developments for phones serve as sterling examples of things to follow fast and furiously.

MasterCard today announced a pilot for a new way to "sign" a charge to their cards.  According to a poll MasterCard had conducted, 83% of Millennials  use their phones to purchase online.  So, now there is an app to take a selfie, by simply blinking into your phone's camera.  That verifies your purchase, and the picture is translated into 1s and 0s and sent as your code to complete the purchase.  What a masterful approach! Note there are no typed passwords using this method.

Also an advertising campaign started today on TV to download the app called LetGo.  A person simply snaps a picture, sends it to the LetGo app and it is immediately put on the LetGo network for people to buy.  People can sell their own pictures now instantly.  What a fantastic innovation in entrepreneurship!  Note the need for picture production is greater than the need to write an ad to sell anymore.

Over the next two years, smart educators will make writing code a part of their math curriculum rather than their optional technology curriculum.  Algorithms and programming for digitization of everything will absolutely take over what is going to be produced in this world.  And because the realm of the visual presentation will assuredly replace the fading need to store and transmit the alphabet, these same smart educators will make video storyboards and video transmission a part of their English curriculum rather than their 6th grade, 5-hour introduction in technology.

Assuredly... Absolutely... Now!
