A Great Change, End Of Industrial Age

What is causing the economy to appear to be collapsing? Whenever change is great and rapid, it feels very disruptive and the conclusion most take is that something is coming to an end.

Well, they are right. There is something coming to and end, but sorry, it is not the world. This is NOT the End Times or the 2nd Coming, although many of us would like it to be. I know I am curious, but most likely this is not it. What is happening though is there is a great amount of change occurring. The end of something great and historical is happening but we may not know what it is until after. So we must embrace the changes so we can look back one day and it will be as clear as a bell. As you know, hind sight IS 20/20.

So what is coming to and end? It is the Industrial Age. Yes this big bold prediction is nothing more than the obvious. How will it affect you? In all honesty, using history to predict how this change may occur will be very difficult, but our only aid in coping with it, even though it will be a greater impact than probably all the historical changes in our civilization combined.

We are entering into a new age, most likely the Information Age, but it may be named something else once it is in full effect. A change like this is not simple and will affect millions of people, but realize that when a change like this occurs there is great opportunity and new prosperity that occurs. There are many people that will see this, find the opportunity within it and become extremely wealthy as a result.

Fortunately and maybe both unfortunately not many if any of us at all have lived through a change of Ages. A great change significant to the human civilization is always marked by significant and historical events in time. These events are remembered for generations and since a change this great has not occurred for about 100 years many of us will not know or be able to express the impact in terms of our current understanding of life. Some of us imagine it, but few of us will understand it.

To illustrate a major change we can look back at events such as Independence Day, World War I and World War II, The Great Depression and the Civil War. It is important to understand that these major historical events all resulted in major changes, but not as great as the coming change. For several generations our way of life has been shaped and our understanding of all human kind is conditioned and the presumption that human history has always been how we live today. This is because of the Age we have lived up to now during the Industrial Age.

We are all witnessing the greatest change in history as we conclude the Industrial Age and it becomes a piece of history for North America and other parts of the world. As certain parts of the world lead this change and the rest will surely follow, we will experience a great disruption in our daily lives as we begin to cope and experience all the changes and opportunities this change will offer.

Embrace the changes, embrace technology, grow fast and prosper. If you are reading this right now, you must have been impacted by some recent changes. Please share your comments about the changes you are experiencing so we can read about what others are going through.
