And on and on.
Nothing seems to have stood still.
And this realization forces us to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that the new millennium into which we are heading threatens to overwhelm us with change. The knowledge base of humankind is expanding so quickly that it now takes less than two years to double. Many of us produce, manipulate, process and store more information in a single day at the office than anyone at the start of the millennium that began in 1001 could have produced in a lifetime. The picture, indeed, is not all bleak and hopeless. There is much to celebrate about the human journey as we enter 2001.
