How Was The Future Looking Back in 1970's ?
In this episode, Anne Corbin delves into the effects of rapid change and overchoice in our society. She explores the implications of information overload, shifts in human relationships, and the breakdown of traditional institutions. The discussion also touches on bioengineering, artificial intelligence, and emerging forms of protest.
Referring to a book written by Alvin Toffler in 1970 called ‘Future Shock’, about the ‘premature arrival of the future’, Anne discusses the unsettled nature of current society and how too much unfettered change via technology and world events can sew confusion, conflict and fear amongst us.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The security was under attack by all the change in all its various forms that were affecting daily life creating conflict with the environment, the film referred to choice and over-choice, and the pressure to keep up with the change ; “Don’t fall behind.”’
’Spending less time at home, more time out of the home either in the place of work or commuting to the place of work. This is all part of ‘Future Shock’, the pressure. Its adapting, being forced to adapt is disquieting because humans are social animals.’
‘I wonder if this was when the word stress first came to the fore. Apparently a Soviet doctor in 1969 had predicted that they would soon have the ability to create geniuses.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Anne originally trained as a maths and science teacher but then chose to qualify as an accountant and worked in business for 12 years. Having recognised that there was more to life than a successful career – specifically working long hours to make money for other people at the expense of her own health – she quit the rat race and returned to her first love: teaching, but on a part-time basis. Fascinated by psychology, philosophy and theology, she is now a successful trainer, speaker and author, who enjoys sharing her passion, purpose and knowledge with a growing audience.
