Yeah, I read it. Read Alvin Toffler too. Megatrends had its 15 minutes, which unfortunately, ran all the way into the 90's. There were a number of authors who did the same dance, sang the same song. One thinks of George Gilder, Esther Dyson, or Faith Popcorn. These books serve some purpose, if

nothing else they get us to think about where we are going as a society. The sad thing is that we only think about it till we get bored, or distracted by some new fad. Then the future comes up on us quick and takes a bite out of us. We need to stop think in 10 second sound bits, powerpoint slides, and start thinking and solving for the long term.
