I'm interested in the paradigm shifts we're experiencing as we transition from an industrial to a digital age. Just as the printing press brought us from an agrarian to an industrial culture, the internet is rapidly bringing us into a new age that is digital, networked, and instantaneous. We're seeing radical changes in all forms of fields and industries, and it seems as if the policymakers at the top often just don't get it. I believe that real change happens from the bottom up, through the solid foundation of an educated populace. I studied Astronomy and Business in my undergraduate years, and have recently completed my second degree, a Bachelor of Education. I'm a teacher, a scientist at heart, an avid reader, and like all Canadians, a lover of all things hockey. Personal blog: http://macroeducation.org
