review 1: This was an excellent book about how to take advantage of the pockets of certainty that we have regarding the future. Burrus does a great job of pointing out different trends that are sure to continue into the future (such as increased mobility, bandwidth, and convergence of features that used to be standalone products into a single product) to use as a way of predicting where the future will lead.Probably the best takeaway from this book that I had was to remember that when it comes to planning for the future, it's important to factor in the fact that the world in the future will not be the same as the world where you start designing a product, business, or whatever. The future is a moving target, so if you don't factor change into your plans, you'll probably be obsolete ... morebefore you even get to the market.
review 2: I listened to this as an audio book and kept wishing I had a highlighter handy. There was enough interesting points that were pertinent to my accounting business that I found it beneficial particularly when he talked about dematerialization This as definitely impacted my firm in the past 4 years. He also encouraged me to ask better questions regarding the future of the firm and how I would like to see technology change the way I do business less
