  2. In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce.

For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it. --Peter F. Drucker

  9. “We live in a world and nation of action. Few have recognized that actions in an obsolete context will lead to problems and frustration. We need to stop and think about how the impact of trends of the future and technologies are transforming the context of our society and world. Until leaders at all levels learn to think differently, there is no reason to act differently, and no reason for our communities to achieve social and economic vitality and sustainability in a constantly changing world.” ……….Rick Smyre
