STAYING TUNED

Monday Sept. 10, 2018

What happened yesterday – is invariably old news today.

What happens today is delivered to everyone – in real time, just watch and you’ll see. Even if you are tuned out or distracted, it will show up on some feed or app or on TV. Or, if you still read them, in tomorrow’s newspapers.

Whatever happens tomorrow will show up as it happens …

We have choices then, to tune-in or tune-out what is happening in this world like never before. This tool should help us, should it not, in running our lives better? I think we have au-courant water cooler chat, but do we use real-time knowledge of the world to help us live better lives – in other words, does that real timely information make for better choices in our businesses, professions and in our personal lives?

WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN
