Did You Know?

We all know the world is changing and that rate of change is getting faster.

My grandfather told me a story about seeing change in his life. When he was a child, he and other boys would go down to the barber shop to listen to stories from the barber. One that particularly caught his interest was the barber telling them that one day they would have a box in every house where they could listen live to the Macy's parade in New York City. The radio was coming.

My grandfather lived through a time of great discovery: the household radio, manufacturing of automobiles, television, the Wright brothers' flight, the sound barrier broken and man landing on the moon.

Change was coming rapidly.

Now we live in a constant state of change. The attached link is to video by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman puts a perspective on the current state of change.

In the end we must ask "What Does It All Mean?"
