Looking Through a Crystal Ball: A glimpse of our future as technology shapes us
May 17, 2008

In the April 12th issue of Economist magazine, a series of articles appeared that were so good and so poignant that I think every business should take its message under advisement.  Basically, the upshot is that the effect of technology on our society, lives and behaviors has only just begun to take shape. Most specifically, it talks about the role of mobility, a trend toward “nomadism” and how in the very near future, there will be no need for anyone to stay in one place. The implications it has on the workforce are staggering since it means that everything we know about organizing and getting things done, will no longer be anything we know. I highly recommend it.

Donna... I have been waiting months for my most recent Economist subscription to start... but will pick up this edition later today. Nomadism sounds intriguing.
