This journal entry compiles my thoughts over the first three chapters and the introduction of A Whole New Mind.
January 9, 2008
As I was reading the intro before I started to read the first three chapters, I was in awe that someone could compile so much information, all leading up to the movement from the left brain to the right brain in the future. I for one hadn’t even thought about this movement, it had never even crossed my mind. I had just thought that the world was changing, but I never knew it was changing this much. Just like in Mr. Fish’s Shift Happens presentation, teachers are teaching and preparing students for careers and jobs that haven’t even been established. The world is changing so drastically that soon our CD’s will be antique along with everything that we are comfortable with today. It’s an amazing shift. Along with inventions of our time being long gone in the future, so will left brain thinking. This is because there are faster ways to accomplish tasks that even the fastest humans can do.
The most interesting chapter in the three chapters was the chapter about Abundance, Asia, and Automation. I enjoyed Mr. Pink’s comments on how now we humans have to ask ourselves three questions before we begin a business. Can this job be done somewhere else faster? Will people want or need this product/service? Can this job/service be outsourced? The world is constantly changing, we have to use our right brain in order to maintain our jobs/careers, and because left brained jobs can be out sourced.
