Since the beginning of time, education has played a significant role in advancing societies, both technologically and socially. While economies around the world have fluctuated throughout history, the globe has continued to witness new discoveries, breakthroughs, and innovations; and with those have come higher living standards and an improved quality of life. The resource most vital to such success has and continues to be labor. While production processes have shifted from labor intensiveness to capital intensiveness, the importance of labor has not waned. Instead, the focus has moved from the "physical" aspect of labor to today's emphasis on "human capital," that is, the knowledge and skills possessed by the individual. As new technology is developed, corresponding changes must be made in retraining the current workforce as well as in educating the future workforce. Education and training must be dynamic and adjust and adapt to changes in technology. What does this mean for the traditional liberal arts education? How has the Information Age and today's knowledge-based global economy impacted the importance of the liberal arts versus technical disciplines such as engineering, computer science, and technology education? Are the liberal arts becoming less relevant and thus less valued in today's society? This article explores the answers to these questions.
