Hello and welcome to the information age of the 21st century. The old society, complete with blue collar industry has been gone for a few years. We are already into the New Millenium ten years deep and yet many of the American people are still taking the old approaches toward employment. When I look at the toll takers and grocery store checkers and see technology devouring their positions, few jobs at a time it is clear that a mental paradigm shift is imperative.
Recently I had a conversation with an eye technician about the fact that she had spent fifteen minutes with me to measure my eye glasses and was unable to take the payment for the service at her desk. I thought that it didn't make economic sense for me to go to a separate receptionist to spend only two extra minutes to have the money collected. I am in total support of employment for all, I just know that if technology can devour a job it will. Of course the receptionist believed that the day will never come when she would be spending the extra five minutes to collect my fees, relieving the receptionist of her role in the service exchange. The checkers that watch people check their own groceries may have the same limited view of the 21st century employment shift.
So what age are we in? One of the greatest Internet giants posted the concept of Information Gurus as the latest group to rise out of the down side of the technology expansion. So now that we are in the Information Age, and have left the Industrial Revolution far behind, it is time to make the mental shift to the expansion of personal talents and gifts and then sharing them among each other. If you have lost interest in the conversation already, you may have also lost the needed attention span to develop new ideas and then take action on them.
O.k., so what is the point of this dialogue, you may ask? Well, I am offering the opportunity to hear about some cutting edge concepts in Mental Expansion to be held at the New University Campus opening up in the Downtown Oakland hub. I will be presenting some Mental Building Block concepts that will allow you to pursue new careers or business ventures while stabilizing your mind during these turbulent times.
