WHAT UP EVERYBODY i felt that all the articles focused on the same idea, that the future is coming and we have to do something that will allow future generations to live in a world that has been sculpted by previous lives. Tofflers article about the "future shock" was by my opinion the most informational he actually predicted some thing that did not exist in 1970. For example he spoke of the computer programmer soon being as absolete as the black smith. Which unfortunately is very true, for our country is now outsourcing to other countries for less wage laborers. And how our society has gone from precivilized, to civilized, to "post civilized". Toffler also spoke of our generation to be that of the "second industrial revolution". What was the most intriguing was when he talk about human brains being "plugged in" which is, i think not to far away, we have already uncovered the human genenome allowing us to create ourselves without fear of irregularities. All the articles made points about what kind of future we want so what kind do you want?
