Map Affecting Future Forces of Education - Healthy Shopping

"The Map Affecting Future Forces of Education" attempts to lay out all forces that will be affecting education in the next decade. The map is very interesting and I recommend a visit:

I was particularly interested in the topic of healthy shopping. We have all been bombarded with the green revolution and eating organic to stay healthy. I had never considered the impacts on education. The idea of "shopping healthy," whether it be organic foods or environmentally-friendly products, is driving our economy to produce more individually-specified products. The result in education is a "much more personalized world" which will need to be fostered in education.

I see this as a major driving force in education in the years to come. "Going green" is not just a buzz phrase anymore. Corporations and governments all around the world have taken great strides to join the movement. America's response is debatable, but I agree with the map. This will be a major impact on the education of American students in the future. For supporting links on the subject, check out the following link:
