The Ascendency of Women (Entering the Shift Age, EBook 5)

The Information Age? Think again. Change is everywhere: how we communicate, what we do for a living, the values we hold, the way we raise our children, even the way we access information. Thanks to a global economy, the force of the Internet, and the explosion of mobile technology, we have-almost imperceptibly-been ushered into a new era, the Shift Age, in which change happens so quickly that it's become the norm. Man-made developments-such as tools, machines, and technology-defined previous ages, but the Shift Age will be defined by our own power of choice.

We are leaving the Information Age and transitioning into the Shift Age, a time of transformation and change that offers both great risk and incredible opportunity. In Entering the Shift Age, David Houle identifies and explains the dynamics and forces that have shaped our world and will continue to reshape our world for the next 20 years. He shows how the Shift Age means a world fully global yet focused on the individual, where the speed of change is so fast that change itself is the new norm. He also comments from the front lines of the Shift Age on issues and topics that affect our lives, from business and technology to environment, media and global culture.

eBook 5 discusses the Ascendency of Women during the Shift Age :a profound and unprecedented shift of gender roles over the next 20-30 years that will change the past 1,000 years of history.
