In a matter of decades, society altogether rearranges itself – its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions. Fifty years later a new world exists. And the people born into that world cannot even imagine the world in which their grandparents lived and into which their own parents were born. Our age is such a period of transformation.” – Peter Drucker
