The Fourth Industrial Revolution; Klaus Schwab

About a year ago this book landed in my stack and I've just finished it.

I think it entrusts too much of the recovery and advancement of society to technology with less emphasis on the factors critical to success tganh I believe to be necessary.  There should also be more emphasis on the role of culture in affected the transition.

However, I particularly like the section titled The Way Forward.  Schwab lays out his view o the eans to the ends that is quite good in causing one to think.

Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, is always...

...just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.  Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Hello Professor Drogan. You don’t know this, but the uniquely engaging content on “droganbloggin” was one of the reasons I decided to attend Fort Schuyler. That was almost 15 years ago. Those big questions, they don’t get any smaller."
