LTGR Ep. #49 - “The Big Switch & Nine Shift”
In this show, Susan and Dan review two books that predict major cultural and social shifts between 2000 and 2020. For anyone expecting to teach/learn/live/work in the 21st century, there's plenty to think about!
Show Notes:
Susan and Dan review books they’ve recently read:
- The Big Switch: Rewiring the world from Edison to Google
by Nicholas Carr - Nine Shift: work, life and education in the 21st century
by William A. Draves and Julie Coates
Show notes are brief this time, but listen to hear the two compare and contrast the themes in these two books. Both books review historically some of the significant changes from 1900-1920 and then predict major cultural and social shifts expected between 2000 and 2020. For anyone expecting to teach/learn/live/work in the 21st century, there’s plenty to think about!
