The more things change, the more things change
Alphonse Karr said, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” According to wikipedia, he’s the originator of the phrase usually translated, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
He said that in 1849.
Now, if the rate of change is affected by the flow of information, it seems that things are going to be changing pretty quickly.
A week’s worth of the New York Times contains more information that a person was likely to come across in their lifetime.
This year, more information will be created than in the previous 5,000 years.
This video, Shift Happens, is worth a few minutes to watch. And leave a comment if you can.
