What do you think about alvin toffler's ideas ?

Question

i have read his books [future shock 1970] ,[the third wave 1980], powershift[1990],[war and anti war 1995]. and i think he is right about some cases.

i'd like to know ,what do you think about his researches?

Answer 1

he is so interesting in his idea of the future.  we can look forward to an ever-advancing civilization

one eg -  new medical technologies from self-diagnosis to instant urinalysis to self-administered medication using nanotechnology to do for ourselves without need for doctors - will change health industry

post-industrial society - countries are moving to the 3rd wave - super industrial society, IT Age, Space Age, Electronic Era, Global Village, technetronic age, scientific-technological revolution, which predicted demassification, diversity, knowledge-based production, and the acceleration of change in any direction is so interesting, isnt it? can go backwards, forwards and sideways.

there will  wealth in outer space, new wealth in globalisation, cyberspace & outer space. GPS technology to streamline everything from cellphone calls to ATM withdrawals, to air-traffic control. and more accurate weather forecasts increasing agricultural productivity

two predictions of his - paperless office and human cloning - have yet to happen, not technological barriers but sociological and politico-religious conditions

Answer 2

For me, personally, he is right on the mark.

Maybe because his concepts coincide with mine.  Of course, that doesn't make them right.  It just reinforces them.
