Big factories, big government, big labour, big business, big buildings. Big government is already entering the throes of shrinking faster than shirt collars. In America, the land that created the skyscraper, there is currently not one 31-storey or higher building under construction. Success in the Communications Age does not depend on larger size. The large labour pools needed on assembly lines have vanished.
Yesterday is over the horizon.
If you are there, you are in the wrong neighbourhood. But if we feel uncomfortable and can see and understand how everything has changed, and that we require new skills and new understanding, half our fears will vanish. As soon as you start to feel comfortable, quit. Every day learn something new. It really does not matter what it is other than the fact that it must be something different.
