This is the concept that in this era we have to continuously learn while undertaking our normal work activities.

My own estimate has always been that at least 15% of my work time needs to be spent simply keeping current in my teaching area of information technology. This percentage is steadily rising and now I have a graphic I can use to make my point. Thanks Jay.
