Seems we see these cycles from time to time, though lately, a lot more often, where we feel the economy squeezing out another old industry, or facilitating its transfer to the third world to make room for more prosperity, and yet this prosperity never comes without a price.
The price is usually change, and while those of us who clearly remember Ronald Reagan, have a harder time changing, it should be obvious to all of us by now, that we will either change with the times or wither in misery as the default standard of retirement in the system, becomes a poorer and poorer prospect for survival.
Change we must, and change we will, and those who dig in and resist, will change also, but the change will hurt more, and it will seem to them as though nothing good has happened. Those of us however, who have decided to go with the flow, can do so without surrendering any of our morals or absolutes, and will find along the way, that this "Brave New World" has unlimited possibilities and offers us new vistas unheard of in previous generations.
So here it is, my entry into the rapids. I come prepared for the exhilarating ride, and look ahead to the rush it promises.
To quote one of my favorite novelists, Kurt Vonnegut, "I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."
Sounds risky, but so is sitting here doing nothing while the IT world transforms again, and thousands of dollars per second fly by me on the internet, while I sit and wait for that next job call on my resume. NOT! gonna happen. ;)
