More quotes by Alvin Toffler
Knowledge is promiscuous. It mates and gives birth to more knowledge.
Alvin Toffler
Information overload will lead to 'future shock syndrome' as an individual will suffer severe physical and mental disturbances.
Alvin Toffler
The responsibility for change...lies within us. We must begin with ourselves, teaching ourselves not to close our minds prematurely to the novel, the surprising, the seemingly radical.
Alvin Toffler
Many countries today have begun the transition from an industrial wealth system and civilization to a knowledge-based system - without appreciating that a new wealth system is impossible without a corresponding new way of life.
Alvin Toffler
It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution.
Alvin Toffler
The computer is a greater threat to the [nuclear] family than all the abortion laws and gay rights movements and pornography in the world.
Alvin Toffler
I work virtually every waking hour.
Alvin Toffler
We need a multiplicity of visions, dreams and prophecies - images of potential tomorrows.
Alvin Toffler
Future shock is the dizzying disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future.
Alvin Toffler
The customer will become so integrated into the production process that we will find it more and more difficult to tell just who is actually the consumer and the producer.
Alvin Toffler
If you don't have a viable strategy, you will be defeated by someone who does.
Alvin Toffler
To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.
Alvin Toffler
You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
Alvin Toffler
Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
Alvin Toffler
The recognition that no knowledge can be complete, no metaphor entire, is itself humanizing. It counteracts fanaticism. It grants even to adversaries the possibility of partial truth, and to oneself the possibility of error.
Alvin Toffler
The control of knowledge is the crux of tomorrow's worldwide struggle for power in every human institution.
Alvin Toffler
Much education springs from some image of the future. If the image of the future held by a society is grossly inaccurate, its education system will betray its youth.
Alvin Toffler
You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment.
Alvin Toffler
If we do not learn from history, we shall be compelled to relive it. True. But if we do not change the future, we shall be compelled to endure it. And that could be worse.
Alvin Toffler
If industrialism, with its faster pace of life, has accelerated the family cycle, super-industrialism now threatens to smash it altogether.
