From Feed and Grain Magazine - We live in a highly educated society in which most people consider knowledge empowering.

Some experts say that while knowledge acquired in the 1960s remained valid for about 15 years, today this time span has been reduced to about 3 years. Think about that much of what today's college students learn may well be superseded with new knowledge before they even graduate.
