By next year, when your daughter swears she doesn't have homework, you can take quick look at the Local Source channel to check what was assigned. Subscribers will be able to post messages, teachers can get the word out on assignments, restaurants can post specials, and groups can publicize an event. Video on Demand will be another innovation available in the near future. By the middle of next year, Doutrick said customers will be able to select a movie from a catalog and order it from the cable company. The customer will be able to play the movie as many times as they want during a 24-hour period and will be able to fast forward, rewind or pause the film using their own remote control.
Technology changes so quickly.
Ninety percent of technological development in the next ten years is unknown. Envisioning Equality Marsha Weinstein, coordinator of the Benchmark 2000 Coalition for Girls, is optimistic about the future for the women of tomorrow. We have a critical mass of women who have made it. These women will be able to teach the next generation about issues ranging from economic empowerment to media literacy to women's history and provide role models for success, according to Weinstein. It is critical to create a new generation by teaching them their history and instructing them in current systems so that they can build a new future.
