Sunday 28 July 1963

A meeting of the British Academy of Forensic Sciences heard yesterday that praising a wife’s well-cooked dinners could help save a marriage. Conversely, husbands should not condemn a burned pudding. The meeting also heard that there was evidence to suggest that many wives were now clandestinely using the “birth pill”.

"There has been a consistent tendency, going back at least to the Industrial Revolution, for technology to strengthen the system at a high cost in individual freedom and local autonomy. Hence any change designed to protect freedom from technology would be contrary to a fundamental trend in the development of our society."

What mouse do you use that is long lasting? I have a bin of Logitech mice with issues registering clicks.

I have cheap one and expensive ones(mx anywhere 3) and they all start having clicking issues after a year or 2.

I tried steel series, but their scroll wheel went out after a year.

Is there something out there that I don’t know about?

"Digital natives aren't just changing the workplace-they're accelerating humanity's boldest innovations while older resistance fades away." - Futurist Jim Carroll

(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found. The book is now in print - learn more at dancing.jimcarroll.com)

As digital natives – kids who have never known a world without technology, the Internet, and social media – become the majority workforce and leadership cohort, we are seeing accelerated acceptance of new paradigms that would have faced resistance from previous generations. Boomers, with their change-resistant attitudes, no longer hold back the future.

"They're not like us." That's the common refrain from most baby boomers and many senior executives today. And that much is true. I've been cognizant of this for a long, long time, often noting that I used to run 'change management workshops.' That is, until a young person came up to me about 20 years ago and said, 'Why can't you people just change already?"

I write the entire theme of generational transformation as one of THE major trends in my book Surviving the Information Age, noting the breadth and scope of what might happen once the first change-embracing generation took over the world. We're smack dab in the middle of that trend now - but in fact, we've only just begun to see its implications. With that in mind, I bring you The Great Generational Transformation: How Digital Natives are Reshaping the Global Economy (2025-2035). 

What's up? The decade between 2025 and 2035 will mark a fundamental and irreversible transfer of economic, cultural, and operational power within the global workforce. The boomers, with their resistance to change ingrained in many of their mindsets till the end, are finally leaving the workforce, and you people are taking over. And as these digital natives—Millennials and Generation Z—transition from workforce participants to the leadership cohort, they are driving a great rebalancing that will restructure the global economy in massive ways!

This transformation, occurring simultaneously with the adoption of artificial intelligence, mounting climate pressures, and geopolitical realignments, creates a perfect storm of change that demands immediate strategic response from global organizations.

It's a perfect storm of change:

for EU #fediverse citizens: age verification app for EUDI is planning to use Play Integrity API for device verification, as described in their repository's README. this isn't just insecure, but will also exclude a lot of people who don't use certified Android OS.

issue has been raised in their repository, but devs have provided no reply so far. we should spread the awareness about it and make sure they reverse this decision github.com/eu-digital-identity
