We no longer are in the manufacturing economy of the last century. And the model for how we work was based on the factory. That is giving way to a new more relevant model for the Information Age. Information is growing at an incredible rate. Fifty years ago there were about 90,000 books in print.
Today there are roughly that number of book publishers.
And there are about 55,000 books coming out each and every year. That doesn t take into account the enormous amounts of information that is on the Internet and in other non-book sources. Information is growing and will continue to do so. Balance is important . While knowledgeable workers may work long hours, not every hour is devoted to work.
