Good point. It does seem to push intellectual adaptability as being key for all citizens to me also. Possibly, to Toffler, the illiterate, is a reference to people that used to be shut out of intellectual pursuits for solely an inability to read. Those that will be shut out now are those that are unable to adapt to changes intellectually. I get the picture in my mind of my grandmother having difficulty figuring out how to operate a cell phone on her own.
