Words' Transformational Prowess

So, let's think for a moment, is this queasy rate of change and the newly acquired power and recent enhanced ubiquity of the written word a positive or negative development for our communities?

We like to think of change as something good, a chance to rid ourselves from an unwanted past, an opportunity to freshen up and start anew. The truth is that change, like everything in life, has many different sides and while it might bring a positive transformation for some, it can cause major distress to many others.

But what matters to us, as we will explain later, is the speed of current changes and how we manage the consequences of such an inevitable part of our lives and our communities in the twenty-first century.

How do we - the global community of the eleventh hour - empower everyone to adapt to the changes brought on by the pervasiveness of Technology in the way we speak, the way we relate to each other, the way we work, the way we spend our leisure time, the way we sustain ourselves, etc. so that we can achieve a satisfactory level of balance for all?

  • First, we need to identify where change is skewing towards the negative, towards the areas where the speed and the nature of change itself is causing certain groups to play the game at a disadvantage.
  • Then we have to try to find ways to tilt it back towards the centre and conquer those handicaps if they are not redressing themselves naturally.

And as we will see, they are not.
