Nobody told the Kids

Watching Thomas Friedman powerful talk at MIT on his adventure discovering the world became flat while we were sleeping…

The phrase still arousing me, Thomas whispering in the microphone; “… and nobody told the kids“. (That the economic playing field is levelled and we better get used to it fast.)  So…Who is currently telling the kids about The REAL World?

Here a throw : Kids, reality is, factories took over routine physical labor, computers routine mental labor and many of our jobs are global. Many of todays jobs won’t be around by the time you turn 20 or so. The messenger has hope for you; There will always be jobs, everybody has the tools to work and the regions with most imagination will flourish.

So the duties to fulfil; Regions give access to tools and help the next generation (AO) to be imaginative. Check.
