In one of the books from Robert T. Kiyosaki titled "Rich Kid Smart Kid", there is a comparison of ideas between the industrial age and information age. I should like to share what I have read as I found that it is very valid since we are rapidly transiting from industrial age into information age. The below are some of the comparisons:| Industrial Age | Information Age |
| Job Security, Tenure | Free agent, Virtual companies |
| Seniority | Paid for results |
| One job | Many professions |
| Work until sixty-five | Retire early |
| Schools | Seminar |
| Degrees and credentials | Core talents |
| Old knowledge | New ideas |
| Company retirement plan | Self-directed portfolio |
| Work at company | Work at home |
For people who are still holding on the industrial age idea might find it difficult in adapting in the information age. In the book "Who moved my cheese", there is a sentence that says "The Quickly You Let Go of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese." This means that if you are able to adapt to change quickly, you are able to enjoy the benefits of the change immediately. The question now is whether do you want to change if you are still holding the old industrial ideas?
