If you're living through the 21st century, but feeling like the pace of life has picked up beyond what you can handle, Thank You for Being Late will help you understand why. Renowned journalist Thomas L. Friedman has returned to what he does best in this fascinating field guide to modern life - though many of the conclusions he comes to might leave you feeling anything but optimistic.

- An understanding of Moore's Law and why it is transforming the technology of the modern world
- The impacts of the Age of Acceleration on the environment, and what it means for the battle against climate change
- An understanding of the ways an accelerated world works to increase geopolitical tensions, and the surprising ways it can also solve it
- Why the cloud (or supernova) is possibly the single biggest achievement of our era
- What the strength in small communities is and the difference they can make for the world as a whole
- Why being constantly connected through "flows" sometimes leaves us feeling more isolated than ever
- Where all the middle class jobs have gone, and what needs to happen to bring them back

Great Purchase!
Summary of Thank You for Being Late by Thomas L. Friedman Audiobook – Unabridged with Anthony Pica as the Narrator and FastReads as the Author and Publisher is a fantastic audio file that gives a half hour presentation to listen to. The author does a great job at conveying in great detail how microchips and computers are continually getting better/smaller and how they are changing our lives in ways such as cars telling us when they need an oil change and how milking machines know when to milk and can tell the farmer when the cow is in heat. This audio file speaks about technology, how our times have accelerated and our world is changing. I really liked how concise this was and how easy it was to just listen to as the Narrator’s voice as it is clear and he does a good job at keeping the information entertaining. I also really liked how “key take aways” were included at the end of each chapter and gives the listener the main point(s) to take away from what was just discussed. The author does an amazing job at predicting what we can expect in the future in relation to technology, employment and the economy. Great purchase!
