SHIFT HAPPENS

Wow, where did that week go?!

Between chipping away at the many, many tasks for the new website, plus all the wonderful distractions that come around Christmas and New Years, time has been flying by.

Quite a few years ago in his book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler described this hectic world we find ourselves in. And one of his warnings was that we weren’t ready to handle all the change and stress that was coming our way.

There’s a great video called “Shift Happens that gives a sense of how much and quickly our world is changing. So I’m just going to post it below and get back to the many chores a-waiting.

Happy holidays!

PS This is a remix of the original Did You Know?/Shift Happens created by Karl Fisch, a teacher in Colorado. Here’s an explanation of this version:

The following adaptation of the original “Shift Happens” presentation was created by Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The video, presented by Richard Sanders, President of Sony BMG International, was shown on 4 May 2008 to 150 of the company’s top executives gathered in Rome for Sony BMG’s annual Global Management Meeting. As part of Sony BMG’s mission to improve the music experience for consumers living in “exponential times”, the video illustrates the demand for change.

    Hey Pett,

    Yeah, I’d seen it a while back and forgotten how profound it is so decided to put it up here.
