ABSTRACT
To survive in today’s world, adults must be able to change. Technology has proliferated into every facet of life—the home, recreation, and the workplace. New technologies have transformed communication systems and work procedures. In the information era, computer-based automation has created the need for profound reskilling (Zuboff, 1988). As companies downsize, adults are forced to adapt to the changing needs of the workplace (Froman, 1994). Workers often have to use new technology, adapt processes to their work’s needs, and develop new products. All these changes require adult learning. The question is, is this adult learning also a developmental process?
