Quotation

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

I recall Bob Textor, an anthropologist, used to caution that we are tempocentric.

The economic and technological changes occurring now will drive and be driven by changes in values.
