The Forerunner Generation
For
the past 60 years the western world has experienced a sustained
technological revolution unlike anything in the past. Historically,
after every technological revolution there is a social reformation
which follows closely behind. Observation will reveal that business,
science, government, education, media, entertainment, the arts,
and religion are all in various stages of reformation. Considering
the significance of the technological revolution, this could be
the greatest social reformation in recorded history, and it is the
forerunners who will lead it. Reformation and transformation is
the passion and the gifted ability of Forerunners. If the past 40
years have been the era of the “techno-geek”, then the
next 40 years will be the era of the “forerunner generation”.
