2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade

I picked up 2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade (by Richard Laermer) while waiting at the airport the other day after glancing through it.  I read a few chapters at the airport and then haven't read anything else since then (three weeks ago).

I wouldn't usually buy a book for $25 on impulse, but I've been more concerned lately about trying to "live smart" rather than on impulse so (ironically) i decided to impulsively buy this book.  

The book is okay, a bit vague, but overall well written.  His writing style appeals to our present, fast-paced, blog-hopping, PDA-toting society.

I am convinced that, if we are Christians, we represent our Maker well by living smart.  This doesn't necessarily mean "conservative," but rather wise in our everday lives.  Being wise might mean spending more or spending less, taking chances in certain ways and not in others.

One way to live smart is to observe widespread trends and act accordingly.
