You seem to have a problem with looking over the top of your rut and thinking about the future.
The future is what Newt is all about. His ability to think about the future and shape a plan to get there is why he is feared. His competitors fear thinking about any thing beyond tomorrow or at best nest week.
Newt can see 50 years.
The irony of your remark is that Toffler was supposed to be a Futurist, yet it was clear he was mired in the past, and Newt didn't see that. He was taken in by Toffler's phony Futurism.
I was making a living as a professional technology forecaster at the time, and I could see then that Toffler was a fake. Newt latched onto what seemed like a bright idea, but which had no substance.
