“I think this is Naisbitt's best book. He's gotten humble over the years, especially with respect to his ability to predict the future, which was always nonsense. I saw George Gilder interview Naisbitt for one hour on this book (I'm sure you can find it on Google or C-Span Web site). I thought Gilder got the better of him when Naisbitt starting talking about the visual culture, and Gilder replied "the TV culture couldn't produce a TV, and you couldn't have researched your book with just TV or pictures." Check mate. I don't agree with everything in here, but I did like his Mindsets, especially this one: "Understanding how powerful it is not to have to be right."
Science progresses by falsification and dissent, not agreement. Great point. Good read.”
