This document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on workforce education. It provides examples of how Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is addressing technological convergence through new programs in areas like computer forensics, hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, and digital games. TSTC publishes reports on these emerging technologies to help guide new curriculum development. The document also discusses leaders in science and technology economic development and potential K-12 educational solutions, like transdisciplinarity.

- 4. Ray Kurzweil An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common-sense "intuitive linear" view. “So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century -- it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate).”
