Back when my Civ II class looked at evolution, I read part of the book, Future Shock. This week, as we discuss Media Theory, we returned to author Alvin Toffler and read a magazine interview article, Alvin Toffler: still shocking after all these years (New Scientist, 19 March 1994, pp. 22-25). When discussing his 1993 book, War and Anti-War, one of his comments made me smile:
"The generals we met researching this book, are super, supersmart. They have studied everything from aerospace to computer sciences to international relations. That came as a revelation to us. Never having had much contact with the military, we shared the common stereotypes."
Why, you may ask, did this make me smile?!
