SYNOPSIS:  We've changed from a machine-based work and business environment to a perception-based one.


We’ve become more or less accustomed to hearing how politicians are out of touch with us and the realities of our lives.  It is also not entirely shocking to hear the media criticized on this account.   What may come as more of a surprise is the realization of how significantly the contemporary conditions of dissociation and virtual reality pervade even the ostensibly clear-eyed and pragmatic world of business.

In actuality, contemporary business is heavily, if inadvertently, into virtual reality.

Not all of this is new.
