Partitions Between the Workplace and Other Spheres of life Are Falling Down
William Rothwell, 2002

Technology has both the advantage and disadvantage of knocking down

communication barriers. Emails are sent internationally with ease; cellular phones
hooked to satellites make everyone reachable, even to the depth of one hundred feet
below the ocean or on the surface of the moon, at all times; and wireless technology
enables people to communicate anywhere and anytime. This trend will continue, with the
advent technology – such as broadcast-quality video conferencing from the desk where
human experts will be instantly available and time. Workplace learning will become
divorced from place alone, it will be just as likely to occur in an automobile, on the sofa
at home, or in an airplane as behind a desk, on a production line, or in a front of a
computer screen. In many places, this has already happened, and the definition that
constitutes the workplace have shifted “anywhere and anytime.” As a result of this trend,
workplace learners will feel free to seek out useful information to guide their performance
whenever they need it. Learning will likely to occur during recreation and purposeful
work activity. It must increasingly be available on demand.

What have you learned from this lesson? Write your answer in space provided.

1. Since 2002, did the trend continue? How?
