040505 -    1.  Subject: Literacy
040506 -        Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 08:24:58 -0800
040507 -        From: "Garold \(Gary\) L. Johnson"
040508 -        To: "Rod Welch"
040510 -         ..
040511 -    2.  Rod,
040513 -         ..
040514 -    3.  I came across the following quote:
040515 -
040516 -           "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who
040517 -           can   not read and write, but those who cannot learn,
040518 -           unlearn and relearn." - Alvin Toffler
040520 -         ..
040521 -    4.  It provides an interesting take on literacy, and seems relevant to our
040522 -        discussions of the reluctance to accept new practices even when it is clear
040523 -        that something different must be done.
040525 -         ..
040526 -    5.  More ammunition!
040528 -         ..
040529 -    6.  Thanks,
040531 -         ..

040536 - Submitted a letter replying to Gary and saying...

040538 -    1.  Subject: Literacy, Tofflers, and SDS in 21st Century
040539 -        Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 09:54:48 -0800
040540 -        From: Rod Welch
040541 -        To: "Garold (Gary) L. Johnson"
040552 -         ..
040553 -    2.  Gary,
040555 -         ..
040556 -    3.  Good point in your letter this morning citing the Tofflers on
040557 -        teaching people to think, per above. ref SDS 0 XW5L  There is
040558 -        more on how SDS supports continual learning in the record on
040559 -        950721. ref SDS 2 2846
040561 -         ..
040562 -    4.  The Toffler's vision for education in the 21st century was
040563 -        reviewed later on 950911. ref SDS 3 2222
040565 -         ..
040566 -    5.  The Tofflers, Covey, Drucker, Grove, Campbell, Landauer, et al,
040567 -        are all good sources for identifying objectives and application
040568 -        of SDS to improve ability to think, remember and communicate,
040569 -        as called out in POIMS. ref OF 7 3742  Continual learning is
040570 -        embodied by the common idea of "listen and learn" which the
040571 -        Tofflers maintain will be essential in the period ahead to meet
040572 -        new realities of the 21st century, cited on 950911. ref SDS 3
040573 -        728J  That listening, intelligence and learning are the core of
040574 -        civilization is not disputed.  Strengthening civilization by
040575 -        fostering a culture of knowledge to advance beyond the age of
040576 -        information (i.e., "documenation") is less commonly understood,
040577 -        as explained in POIMS. ref OF 4 K84L

141008 -    6.  Turns out these ideas are embodied in regulations and standards
141009 -        for good management, illustrated by the Federal Acquisition
141010 -        Regulations (FAR) reviewed on 020504, ref SDS 5 XV7L, and as
141011 -        noted above, in industry standards for good management,
141012 -        reviewed earlier on 950721. ref SDS 2 1740
141014 -         ..
141015 -    7.  In other words, the secret of good management enabled by SDS is
141016 -        "hidden in plain sight," as you noted on 030708. ref SDS 6 LV8G
141018 -         ..
141019 -    8.  So, all we have to do is get the government and industry to
141020 -        enforce compliance with their regulations and standards, and
141021 -        viola -- we have a market -- in the same way that accounting
141022 -        standards are enforced to collect taxes.  If the same audit
141023 -        that checks up on using good accounting practices would also
141024 -        check the record to verify traceability to original sources,
141025 -        then the government could collect a lot more taxes to spend on
141026 -        defense, welfare, and arguing about who said what at the last
141027 -        meeting (e.g., on 020217, ref SDS 4 9360).  Industry would,
141028 -        also, have a lot more money to spend on vacations, health care
141029 -        and looking at Powerpoint pictures in meetings, reported on
141030 -        940609. ref SDS 1 4933
141032 -         ..
141033 -    9.  Adding intelligence to convert information into knowledge is
141034 -        like turning straw into gold, cited in the conclusion of NWO.

141041 -   11.  PS.  Sending a copy to Jerry Nord at CSG and at home to see if
141042 -        he wants to do a conference call today or tomorrow.  Would like
141043 -        to follow up on his research from a week or so ago looking for
141044 -        other tools that support SDS capabilities, which touches our
141045 -        discussion yesterday as well as your letter today.
