What we are living in, these strange days, may be the best thing that has happened to you! The situation of the coronavirus crisis is bigger than the twin towers, or the collapse of 2008, or any other crisis of the last 100 years. What is happening globally at every level, with half the Earth's population in (voluntary) confinement at home, will likely lead to a massive economic disaster. What is definitely happening is that we are officially living the end of the industrial age and the finalization of the "information age".<\/p>\n
Since 1980 Alvin Toffler in his sensational book "The Third Wave" has been describing this transition and, a few decades later, everything he predicted has now come true and the third wave has now officially won the battle.<\/p>\n
In this book, Toffler covers a surprisingly wide range of topics surrounding human society and its organization. The basic narrative goes like this: The entire history of the civilized world (after the Neolithic era) is characterized by three major phases: the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and the information age revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
