As companies go virtual, and employees become free agents, and alliances become more fleeting, will anything stop the accelerating pace of change<strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I feel there\u2019s got to be some maximum point, some point at which people are totally saturated with information, possibilities, and demands on their time<strong>.<\/strong> I\u2019ve no idea what that point might be, but I feel it\u2019s going to be different generationally<strong>.<\/strong> Generation E (preteens) will have a much different tolerance than Generations X and Y and us aging Boomers<strong>.<\/strong> Nonetheless, everyone needs to have a life, don\u2019t they<strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Me?
