In a word, wow. I have been thinking many of the same things as this article discusses, and am perhaps even more worried about how profound the near future changes that Brainready describes in the article will actually be.

It is a "wake up call" indeed. Great, great post. Worthy of a book, Brainready!

Thanks for this interesting article.
For those who doubt the World is radically changing I would advise to read the excellent book "The World is flat" from Thomas L. Friedman.

There is also a video of a presentation he made at the MIT here:

Thanks for the comments, all! And yes, Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat" is an excellent, fascinating book that people of all ages should read...and serves as yet another basis for showing that the future that we describe in our BrainReady piece is actually already here, and growing.

I am like Dr. Chang. Incredible idea.
But how about this too; I have a large number of referrals to my counseling practice who have felony convictions which effectively leave them out of the job market place. How about training them in online business building, which allows them to enter the global marketplace? I love the layout of your blog too. Michael S. Logan, MS

Yes, I know I just posted, but I forgot to add that I am 60, with small children and anticipate an online business with daily input until, well, I will be 84 when my little ball of fire, Hannah Marie (4) graduates from high school. Mike Logan, again

Very interesting post!
I think that as the world continues to grow and telecommuting and working from home becomes more appropriate, there will be more jobs that will become available for the elderly even from home.
