The Changing Context for Research, Teaching, and Learning

Knowledge itself will be modified and researchand development transformed by the new capacitiesprovided by IT. Nothing will be left untouched. The liberal arts will be revived and transfigured, liberatedfrom their age-long reliance on text alone. The silos of the departments will topple as new approaches tobewildering issues are pursued with new vigor by scholars in mind-boggling combinations of once insular and isolated disciplines.

–Frank H. T. Rhodes, past President of Cornell University, in The Creation of the Future
