The contracting & changing world - for parents.

Recently I watched a video about changing times and teh fact that we are preparing our children for a largely unknown future (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY).

There was another one I watched which spoke about the size of the computer 30 years ago having memory much less than a regular phone today .

Also if you watch cricket and know that its was a primarily a 5 day game. Then came the ODI's and now its 20-20. Did anyone think of cricket matches like IPL etc competing with Bollywood for the viewers time???

If you watch cricket or tennis and have been watching for years, do you notice how the game has become more about agility & speed.

We all know the world is changing, getting fast paced & contracting. But what do we do as parents to prepare our children for this world. Please post comments for sharing & common good.
