Comment "Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler (Score 1) 174

WIKI: "He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from "shattering stress and disorientation"—future shocked."

The book was published in 1970.
A documentary was made in 1972.
I saw it in sixth grade in 1977.

It seems my generation recovered and is doing fine as long as you keep off our lawn.

Comment Re:Apple was the dumbest (Score 1) 130

My theory: This was a warning shot. "See what we're doing? See how many we sold? By the time you release your first generation unit we'll have our second one ready. So you might want to not put out anything and leave the market to us."

Also, anyone else curious to see how much these are gonna cost once they hit Apple's refurb page?
