Comments on the article "This Is Generation Flux"

"I don't have a plan. If you look too far out in the future, you waste your time." says one of the authors. I agree with the author and would say the same. I don’t have a plan either. I have my own wishes for the future, but planning has always been one of my weaknesses. And personally for me, planning is good but good adaptation is better. If you plan something and you follow it, it’s good but don’t miss novelties, that is to say, new changes.

“The whole world of business is now in a constant state of agile development.” Whether you want or not you have to develop yourself constantly and be updated. Otherwise you will be useless both to yourself and to the business world.

This article shows how different people embraced different changes and at various jobs. The most important is that they all followed innovation and adapted themselves to changes.
I consider myself as a very adaptable person. Otherwise I wouldn’t be in France today. I never planned to be here. I just followed what I had to follow and simply adapted myself to whatever the change was. I don’t know what I will be doing in two years, the only thing I know is that I have multiple competences and I won’t stay in one job. I will follow innovation and accept changes. It’s always been my case, changing career. I used to be a teacher, a surveyor, a salesperson, an interpreter, an assistant, a consultant, a singer, an actor and now receptionist.
“Flexibility of skills leads to flexibility of options. To see what you can't see coming, you've got to embrace larger principles.” That’s absolutely true. You should never stop developing your skills. Don’t take pauses in learning. There are new jobs coming with new opportunities which are yet unknown. We have to prepare ourselves to what we don’t know. Today I also can say "I'm a collection of many things. I'm not one thing” as Raina Kumra, one of the authors of the article would say. And I am so proud of being such.

The 'record-breaking' response to Steve Jobs' death: By the numbers

As I like statistical numbers I find this article interesting.

When steve Jobs died almost the whole world talked about it at lest thought of it. Can you imagine that 10.000 people per second were tweeting about his death the same day. According to The Economic Times it's the biggest online reaction to any event in recent history.

8.868 Tweets per second were registered when Beyonce announced her pregnancy during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards performance. It was a previous record.

iPad survives 100.000 feet fall

How many of you have an iPad or an iPhone with cases that protect your device from damages? And do you believe that these cases protect them seriously?
Personnally, I rely on cases. I have an iPhone and I dropped it several times and it is not damaged thanks to the plastic case. So we can say that cases are reliable, but then it highly depends on the quality of the case. 

Have you ever heard about G-Form cases or portfolios? It is really something increadible. They tested if the G-Forms can protect iPads. The iPad falls down from some 100.000 feet and is not broken and continues working. Another way of marketing for both brands. Click for link
