Loving this look at how technology has and will continue changing our society. He has a really good grasp of the disruptive forces that have created new economies in the last few years.

1. Pic of weekend plans: usher in main stage pavilion at National Book Festival tomorrow, then boring stuff. 2. Favorite junk food: popcorn. 3. Audiobooks or no? Sure, why not? 4. Looking forward to in September: beach trip. 5. Favorite book-to-movie adaptation: Dr. Zhivago. Oh snap! Edited to add the tag! 🤷🏻‍♀️. #friYAYintro

today, our social media experiences are designed in a way that favors broadcasting over engagements, posts over discussions, shallow comments over deep conversations.

We go to school for twelve or more years during our childhoods and early adulthoods, and then we‘re done. But when the pace of change gets this fast, the only way to retain a lifelong working capacity is to engage in lifelong learning.

#TBRtemptation post! Friedman shows how far & how quickly our world has come in the past few decades. Based on technology's rapidity of progress, he lays out some plans to help society's and individuals' psyches counteract the rhetorical dizziness, by learning to adapt quickly, helping "casualties" of change (including Nature), & accessing our deeper values while shutting out the white noise. He's got another hit here! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

AprilMae We read The World Is Flat in my Global Studied course. It was extremly interesting.📚 8y

kspenmoll Always a concern given so many students I work with with slow processing speeds. 8y

I like to have multiple books going at once. A novel (see previous post 😊) as well as various non-fiction. Picked this one up yesterday. I'm totally intrigued. Anyone read it yet?
