We have entered a new era. . . .
a "post-Industrial” age. But, because we do not yet know how today's multiple rapid changes will ultimately work out, the chattering classes have agreed to call it "The New Normal" for the time being.

• Society will be older (with fewer young adults):
• most individuals and institutions will have to live/operate within more limited means;
• technology will pervade every aspect of daily life and change how we all work and play;
• and where accelerating innovation and change will produce growing numbers of unintended consequences.
