Technology and the Future

I sat down and watched Michael Hyatt’s presentation at O’Reilly Tools of Change Publishing Conference on “Blogging as a Tool of Change.”  If you haven’t watched it, you should.  And it got me thinking on how we use all this new tech.

One thing that he said in the presentation really struck me.  “You’re not going to find the future unless you engage it.”  That seems so simple, but so elusive.  We can’t sit on the sidelines and expect to leverage these new technologies for our own good.

Change will come.  It always has and always will.  If you want to be a part of the change, you need to be involved.  Get dirty with it, try it out.  I have been finding out lately that the more tools I try, the more incredible the landscape becomes.  I see more opportunities and think of more ideas.

And make no mistake, the future is on the internet.

Just a few thoughts today.
