Alvin Toffler: In his 1970 book, Future Shock, Toffler warned that by the year 2000,
technological advances will come so fast that they will actually make people's lives more complex, not easier, leading to what he called information overload:.
Toffler wasn't suggesting that reading and writing would become unimportant,
he was emphasizing that in times of rapid change in an uncertain future the most valuable skill would be learning how to learn rather than simply reciting a set of facts and procedures.
