Thomas Friedman’s fantastic new book is called Thank You for Being Late – An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations. I recommend it as essential reading for educators and parents alike – as we all try to come to grips with the incredible rate of change in our world and what it means for our children.
Friedman points out in poignant detail exactly what is changing and how: “The three largest forces on our planet – technology, globalization and climate change – are all accelerating at once.” And the rate of change is faster than anything we’ve had to adapt to before. Friedman says it is “surely one of the great transformative moments in history.”
