To quote Newt Gingrich, US Speaker of the House of Representatives, “Alvin and Heidi Toffler have given us the key to viewing current disarray within the positive framework of a dynamic, exciting future... The Tofflers correctly understand the development and distribution of information that has become the central productivity and power activity of the human race.... In the Third Wave, the Tofflers moved from observation (found in earlier works such as Future Shock) to creating a predictive framework They placed the information revolution (from circa 1990) in an historical perspective, comparing it with the other two great transformations, the agricultural revolution (beginning 8000 B.C thru around 1700) the industrial revolution (beginning around 1700 and still spreading across world society in an ever slower movement) . According to the Tofflers, we are feeling the impact of the third great wave of change in history, and we are, as a result, in the process of creating a new civilization.” (Preface to Toffler’s Creating a New Civilization)

Read the damn book and get the cobwebs out of your head.

Noot and the Tofflers are humanists.

They absolutely believe in the perfectibility of Man, not the total depravity of man as stated in God’s word.

New Age, get it?
