#3 What is Toeffler’s Third Wave theory and where do you think Thailand is in his suggested theory of change?
Toeffler’s Third Wave theory is explained the development in human life in each era. There are 3 waves which are agricultural revolution, indutrial revolution and information society. The third wave contribute people to have an ability to access all of the information easier and no one can keep the information alone anymore. Then people will decided to choose what they want to learn from the information that they received, so people no need to be an employee because everybody can become an entrepreneur at their houses by receiving the information to invest in the right target audience. In addition, developing country should be rapidly developed, especially to accelerate to educate people at all levels, and the country must provided the foundation of the main device such a satellite and computer networks. I think Thailand is not completely in the third wave because there are some places that this stuff cannot reach to the area as much as it should be.
