The times are a' changin' - again

Perhaps one of the most used cliché is that the only thing constant in this world is change. 2012, I dare predict, would be one of the most memorable one when it comes to these changes set to occur.

As we ride the waves of fickle technology, now comes this realization that it would only evolve faster. It may seem like a futile attempt trying to ride it, but the challenge is really staying on the board. Wherever you are, whatever you do, there will be no escaping the inevitable. The best thing to do is to equip yourself.

Social media would be even more ubiquitous than it currenty is. With the arrival of faster data speeds and always-connected devices, we will be more and more drawn to social media. If you still have not joined any social media sites, I urge you to go sign up now. Ride it.

Luddites could continue to deny the realilty of technology's impact, but it is here. The future has arrived. Technology will eat you alive if you won't be able to manage it. And it will be dangerous trying to resist the change.

There is nothing to fear, really. Change will happen and even faster at every turn until science itself stalls.
