Questions
Chapter 1 - Do you think a society can progress if only either right or left brain abilities are being nutured ?
Chapter 2 - Abundance - Seems nothing is too scarce , so will there in the future be no need for a public library, everyone will be able to own and have own private reading material .
Chapter 3 - What wil happen to the percentage of people who cannot adapt to high concept and high touch abilites ?

Notes
Central thesis is that we are shifting once again into a new age - a new age of commerce - learning and living. Developed nations are moving from an industrial worl ddominated by left-brain logical thinking to a right-brained intuitive world . The conceptual age - three forces driving the western world in this direction - Abundance - Asia - Automation
Abundance - abundance of material goods
Asia - vast pool of inexpensive labor
Automation - changing the landscape of work because machines can do it better and faster than humans
Heart of book is that humans need to and will be propelled to decrease their logical, systematic ways of being and develop more of the conceptual side of themselves. Power will eventually shift to people who possess strong right brain qualities.

Notes from Chapter 1
Left side brain was the crucial half that made us human the right side was subsidiary
left - rational , analytic and logical - Right - mute , nonlinear and instinctive
Language is what separates man from beast- Language on left side of brain
Right is the picture -left is the 1000 words - left hemisphere handles what is SAID AND RIGHT FOCUSES HOW IT'S SAID Left focuses on categories the right on relationships - right analyses the details - left synthesizes the big picture

Notes form Chapter 2
Knowledge workers are people who get paid for putting to work what one learns in school rather than for their physical strength or manual skill - Knowledge workers and their thinking style have indeed shaped the character, leadership and social profile of the modern age.

Abundance - for most of history our lives were defined by scarity. Today the defining feature of social economic and cultural life in much of the world is abundance . Our left brains made us rich.

Asia - Outsourcing is overhyped in the short term but is underhyped in the long term - Work moves to where it can be done cheaper

Automation - Changing landscape of work - all being broken down into a series of logical steps or actions is being automated because machines can do it better and cheaper

Abundnce has satisfied and over satisfied the material needs of millions

Asia is now performing large amounts of routine white- collar work at significantly lower costs

Automation has began to affect this generation's white-collar workers in teh sme way it did last generation's blue-collar workers

Notes on Chapter 3

What happens to us as our lives get clipped by autmonation and Asia and reconfigured by abundance
Humans need to and will be propelled to decrese their logical , systematic ways of being and develop more of the conceptual side of themselves

High concept and high touch aptitudes are moving from the periphery of our lives to the center
How can we prepare ourselves for the conceptual age

We must perform work that overseas knowledge workers can't do cheaper , that computers can't do faster and satifies the aesthetic level that answer is inadequate What do we do ?
Use the 6 senses - Design - Story - Symphony - Empathy - Play - Meaning

Reader's Advisory

Enjoyed reader's module - had already had a previous workshop and have used the pointers and suggestions - one sugggestin was to read a YA/teen book and with the Lati assignment of reading 2 YA/Teen books I was surprised how much I enjoyded the YA/teen books I read

Read as YA selections - A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly and Three Littel Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter
Three Little words was very good , memoir of a young child and her sometimes terrible journey throught the foster care system -
A Norhtern light was so intersting I proceeded to read her current adult novel called , A winter Rose . It was great , one of those can't put down stories . Loved the character development .Enjoyed it so I plan to the Tea Rose by her
Other adult title I read was Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen - amusing read about circus life the 30's and a wonderful ending !!!!!!!!!!!!!
