Get Ready For Change!
It must have been a dark and gloomy day for the Buggy makers of America (as in Horse and Buggy) when the automobile began to take center stage as the people’s choice for transportation. How about deep impact thrust upon candle makers and oil lamp makers as the light bulb entered the human space? What about the sudden decline of passenger train patrons as the airplane became common place? And, let us not the forget the hurt feelings of carrier pigeons all over the world when the post office took over! Ok, the carrier pigeons are a little over the top but at least you can see my point! 
Times are changing very rapidly and people need to get ready for the changes that are emerging. Stop trying to fight progress and just get on board and ride the train with the rest of us. Here are a few things that I consider inevitable changes that will come regardless of what we think so, we may as well get ready for the changes…
- Say Goodbye to the USPS! – The post office is going to go “bye-bye” because it just can’t compete with email, online bill-pay, and instant social media interaction.
- Desktops and Laptops are On Their Way Out! – We are so close to Tablet Computers and Hugely Functional Mobile Phones taking over all our computing needs. As soon as you can dock you mobile phone and/or tablet device and have a printer, keyboard, large screen and access to the “Cloud”, the internet cafe will have to transition into Public Mobile Docking Cafe’s.
- Paper is so… over! – People just keep trying to hang on to the largest source of waste the world has ever seen! (in my own unscientific opinion of course!). It’s time to stop killing the trees and make the plunge into the pool of the digital age. We keep procrastinating but face it people… the end of paper is near!
Now, these are just my personal ramblings as I did something that tends to get me into trouble… think! I don’t know about you but I really think that there is merit in what I am saying regarding these coming changes.
Drop me a note and let me know what you think.
