#3 What is Toffler’s Third Wave theory and where do you think Thailand is in his suggested theory of change?

The third wave theory is age that everything can connect to each other easier than the day before. Moreover you can work everywhere that you want such as when you are on vacation you can work by using smartphone or laptop.

In my estimation, Thailand is in the third wave because we presently combine technology with economy. For instance, we started to use the machine in almost every factory because of that everything will be changed in the future that we can’t anticipate.
