Alvin Toffler

I work virtually every waking hour.

To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.

People of the future may suffer not from an absence of choice but from a paralysing surfeit of it. They may turn out to be victims of that peculiarly super-industrial dilemma: overchoice.

The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.

Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.
