		<description>I&#039;ve heard of the book &quot;Future Shock&quot; before, but have yet to read it.  I will have to get hold of a copy at some point.

We really do seem to be heading for a strange situation.  There are a number of people I know around me, who are waking up to the world and its illusions.  Yet because they aren&#039;t really spiritually inclined, they are finding themselves adrift, lost and with no direction.

But then there are also those that are still stuck within that &#039;illusion&#039;.  I see the world fragmenting into various groups in the not so distant future.  Those that want to maintain the illusion and those who want a new paradigm.

It would be interesting indeed to see what would happen if the TV networks went off for a week.  Would it change the world?

What if the Internet was shut off?  There are millions of people out there now - all spreading metaphysical and spiritual knowledge.  And some have years of doing that behind them.  If the Internet went, would they simply sit around and do nothing?  Or would they get up and start physically spreading these ideas?

It&#039;s funny because technology both enlightens us and traps us.</description>

		<description>I agree with you that things are changing and that the pace is picking up. This has been going on for some time. I am constantly amazed how accurate Alvin Toffler was in his 1970 book &quot;Future Shock&quot;. The number of choices that we have to make are increasing exponentially.

Metaphysically, I agree with you that more and more people are unable to believe the ideas that they&#039;ve been told to just accept on faith. For many, this leaves them with nothing to hold onto. For others, it opens doors to new, healthier, more sound ideas.

I don&#039;t believe the changes are as negative as they may appear. With tv and radio searching the world to find every bit of negative &quot;news&quot; so that we can know everything bad that happens anywhere in the world, I think people&#039;s perception becomes overly influenced. Usually, if one looks at what they are experiencing in their own life, much more of it is good than bad.

Just my $.02 worth...
(nice website btw)</description>
