I was browsing a friend’s bookcase and saw Megatrends by John Naisbitt. It was written back in 1984 and I was intrigued to see what the big trends were thought to be back when I was just leaving Uni.
One quote caught my eye calling for “synthesis over analysis” :
In a world where events and ideas are analysed to the point of lifelessness, where complexity grows by quantum leaps, where the information din is so high we must shriek to be heard above it, we are hungry for structure.
…things have not changed much.
