The problem with the future is that it is elusive. We think we have it in our sites; but when we take that first step, not only is the future changed, but so has the past as seen from our new "present". The "internet" is a paradigmatic example, particularly for The Academy (post secondary education). Understanding the future is time dependent. The speed of change depends, again, on one's time perspective. Thus, prediction is hampered in many dimensions. The "University" has changed and there is struggle within the institution, its faculty, and community to adjust the optics to try and clearly see what it has become, its existence in the future-and to accept or respond.
