“We’ve progressed from a society of farmers to a society of factory workers to a society of knowledge workers. And now we’re progressing yet again—
to a society of creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers, and meaning makers,” explains author Daniel Pink.
NEW WRITING PROCESS

We are now looking from the top down through a more global perspective. Now writers and readers seek communication that expresses uniqueness and creativity.
Daniel Pink explains in his book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future, that a shift is currently under way. We are expanding our empathetic large-picture vision recognizing pat-terns and meaning. And each new idea creates an ever-farther horizon in our search for information.
