Survival of the Fittest
"Between now and the 21st century, citizens of the world's richest and most technologically advanced nations, will find it increasingly difficult to keep up with the demand for change. For them, the future will arrive too soon." So begins Alvin Toffler's book Future Shock, written back in 1970. Now people are beginning to pay attention to Toffler's prediction, because the speed of change is accelerating rapidly. It is sometimes difficult to work out the patterns of change. What should you do?
(1) First of all, don't panic. Take a deep breath and try to get a sense of the good things the future has to offer. You don't need to be genius to predict the job areas, which will be most affected by technological change. Agriculture, textiles, coal mining and heavy industry are all doing badly.
