More recently, Daniel Pink in A Whole New Mind (2005), a book that about the mindset needed for the coming century, has predicted success in the future will depend on creative thinking, not analytical thinking -more use of the right side of the brain as opposed to the left Knowledge-based professions which control the world like banking, management, etc. Pink argues, will wane as more and more jobs are replaced by computers, a prospect governments must wake up to or they will have hordes of young people trained for a redundant world system. The analytical brain types that have dominated job picture recent years have had their day. Those who see the bigger at the same time, i e, those who use the right side of their brain a well or more than the left or can switch between the two at will, are about to come into their own. The most prized individuals will be those who think outside the analytical boxes. If governments are sleep-walking into this situation, young people need not do so, but can prepare themselves for this dramatic evolution. Broadly speaking, young people are much more flexible and prepared to adapt to new situations than their older counterparts. Their very familiarity with ever-changing technology and the processes that go with it equips them be proactive, and to develop their skills beyond the purely analytical. Take the gigantic leaps that have been made in the economies of South-East Asia years. Advanced transport and systems for knowledge transfer are more evolved than in many advanced western countries which are lagging behind their eastern counterpart that Businesses, rather than universities, can provide opportunities introduce elements of unpredictability and creativity into aspects of training or work experience to teach employees to cope with the shifting sands of the future. The young will be encouraged to do what they do breaking out of existing systems and restructuring best, the way things are done. people will need to side with them their to remould the world if they are to survive in els future workplace, we may be in for a bumpy ride, but whatever it be, the future does not look dull. may
