I gave up - these authors are patronizing and TERRIBLE writers! Interesting concept - that the world is shifting thanks to technology and the internet just like it did at the turn of the century thanks to technology and the car - would love to read more, but I can't take it anymore!

Enjoyed the perspective

I found the book very interesting to say the least. I think it was a great history lesson in some aspects but a crystal ball, in others, helping us get a glimpse of things to come. Being one at the tail of the baby boomer generation, I can relate to so much of the information shared retarding the reluctance to change and adapt. I believe whether one is looking for an enjoyable read or interested in a progressive, perspective with direction for our community, organization and as a member of booth, its definitely worth one's time.
