Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of "Future Shock"

http://bigthink.com/ideas/24533

I can see why Toffler's book might have impressed people in 1970 for a
week or two as something insightful, radical or edgy.

I don't see why it has that reputation now. I turn 51 next month, and
nothing in my life has given me "future shock," mainly because of all
the fraudulent promises of technological transformations I've heard
since my childhood. (And you know what I refer to.)
