Future shock is here. What do we do now, Alvin?: A look at the New Information Age - Paperback

by Jack Veffer (Author)

New ways of creating wealth don't come along very often and they usually bring with them new ways of doing things. It changes family dynamics and the way we carry out everyday life. Such a new wealth system is about to explode on the scene, brought about by a new civilization of consumers: those that shop on the Internet. Today's wealth "revolution" will not only replace old technologies but it will also profoundly alter institutions as today's traditional role economies change into knowledge economies. This Internet generation will radically change the way we do things. It will affect the way we buy art, music, fashion, cars, food, the way we bank and the way we exercise and meditate. It will develop new attitudes in the way we practice religion and it will profoundly alter personal freedom.
