As an Exercise in Understanding the Nature of Toffler's Notions

question 1

Short Answer

As an exercise in understanding the nature of Toffler's notions about "future shock," construct an essay that reflects upon what you thought the future would be like when you were young. When you were a kid, what did you think it would be like "out there in the future"? Did you expect that we would all have our own helicopters? That we would be able to travel in transporters (like in Star Trek)? Did you think that poverty or ignorance or war would be "over forever"? Have some fun with this; Instructors should have the class share these ideas and, again, have some fun with the concept.
