Through The Looking Glass Into The Mirror

Perspectives On The Future Of Business, Education, Parenting, Politics and more. Any discussion about the future can become a stressful experience. It is a pattern that repeats itself in every generation. There are many perspectives among people about what the future holds and, in most situations, there are five broad groups. The one group are those who hold on to the past. What they know and how things have always worked are the realities they want to pursue and the mechanisms of life with which they are comfortable.The second group are those who do not like thinking and talking about possible future developments and they are very passive in their acquiring of knowledge and thinking about the things to come. The third group are the ones that cannot wait for future things to happen, especially on a technological front. The fourth group is very small. They are the minority of society but they are the ones who have and who will shape our future world. They are the ones who design, develop and build the future. Group number five is the most interesting of all. They are the ones who do not know that there is a future world that is unfolding. They live and work for today. Tomorrow, they will again live and work for the day or the week. This book is for everybody. It is an easy read with emphasis on practical, everyday things that touch the lives of many people. It is based on existing patterns that are used to anticipate future developments in specific areas. The aim is to inform and share ideas. The authors are convinced that the things they anticipate will happen. Patterns and trends are the most reliable constructs to use when it is necessary to anticipate future events. Although some themes and topics in the book may sound like a repetition of anticipated trends, it has been repeated to indicate the importance of what will happen, what to do and how to best understand changes. It has also been written to integrate different areas of change and how it will influence the same space of our existence. An example will explain. Changing weather patterns will influence the way we work, build business, produce food and the places where people live. The authors trust that you will experience this as an information rich experience with practical value for your life.
