What a fantastic mail on Alvin Toffler & Future per se, written by Prof Govind Autee.! Usha Gowri "s statement on the " runner inside of me" is the truth of the day. Understand it in all its dimensions & make progress. Or else, stagnation stares on the face.
It defines many things; rather future has been redefining several dogma, jargon, terms & definicitons.
Pandit Ravi Shanker says " Everything is changing " - Technology is pivotal amongst them all. Every employee, employer, professional, politician & student has to change to be relevant. No point in blaming anyone if one is not progressing or stuck in career or profession or business. Have you changed ? Are you updated?.
It has a great deal of relevance to management education & our faculty fraternity. Time for introspection, gesticulation & reflection.

Dear All,--
'Future Shock' Author Alvin Toffler, the far-seeing futurist, who predicted humanity's rising anxiety with digital and technological progress in his hugely influential 1970 book "Future Shock," has died at the age of 87.
- All of those predictions — which were expanded upon in two influential followup best-sellers, "The Third Wave" (1980) and "Powershift" (1990) — have already come true.
- "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "
- "If you don't have a strategy, you're part of someone else's strategy."
- "Change is not merely necessary to life — it is life."
- "It is no longer resources that limit decisions, it is the decision that makes the resources."
May his soul rest in peace.
G.S.Autee
