I think that that is a very interesting outlook on what we're preparing students for; I see your reasoning, but I also have a question: should we prepare them for what we know to be out there, so that they know how to handle what is 'probably' going to be there -- or, should we also prepare them for what could happen and prepare them to take advantage of new opportunities?  I find that both could be beneficial.  The question is, then, how do we adequately complete this task when our education system is, as you have said before, circling around lecture-style classrooms?  I find that perhaps we must break free, just as people have before us (modern architects, modern thinkers, etc).
