What most people don't know is that we've changed eras. Our parents and grandparents grew up in the industrial age. When the wall dividing Germany came down the industrial age collapsed and the information age began. It took us a while to truly grasp what had happened but we know it now. What this means is that you do have permission to examine the wisdom of how your parents did things like build wealth and stability in their lives. Some of that advice is timeless, but some of it no longer applies.
IF you are among those who've not yet been forced to innovate a new path, I encourage you to explore technology changes and it's implications for yourself and your family. Don't let your children grow up digitally illiterate and don't rely on a school system that's sluggish to accept the change to teach them. You need more than just computer savvy to make it in the future. You need to know how to harvest creativity to solve problems. You need to know how to adapt and even read a bit ahead of the changes in order to compensate or you'll get bucked around and left behind. Watch this video and then ask yourself if you know half of what they're talking about. I know I'm preaching and I'm one to talk, I'm 49% Luddite. But one of my most consistent gifts is reading trends and you'll want to know as much as you can about this. Trust me!
