Change In Our Society...Change In Our Careers
By Kimo Look The world is changing—and fast! This is the first of several articles about the impact of world change on our careers. Yes...for the last decade we have heard, "The world is changing at an unprecedented rate." (We've heard this so often it has become a cliché.) Though it is probably true, the real question is, "So what does it really mean to me?" and, "How will this impact my life, my career?" Here is what I see... We often hear we are in an Information Revolution. But what does that mean? If we use the word 'Revolution' as we do in the Agricultural or Industrial Revolutions, it means profoundly changing economies, products, services, and industry structure. It means changing the way we do our jobs. This would be true if the Information Revolution evolves as the Industrial Revolution evolved. Interestingly, there are a surprising number of similarities between the early years of this Information Revolution and that of the first fifty years of the Industrial Revolution. |
