OGDEN'S FIRST LAW
     -----------------
     "The law of Unintended Results: Any Law, Rule, Regulation or Sanction
      concieved with industrial age thinking reverses itself in a communi-
      cations age environment".


     OGDEN'S SECOND LAW
     ------------------
     "Intuition, or the Alpha State, rather than Logic, is the more likely
      route to Creativity, Innovation, Discovery and New Age thinking".


     OGDEN'S THIRD LAW
     -----------------
     "Governments are becoming increasingly irrelevant. They can no longer
      protect  their  citizens  against terrorism at home or abroad, guard
      their  borders  against  illegal  immigrants, defend their currency,
      their technology  or  the  jobs  of  their citizens.  And, they have
      failed to create a shield against the environmental degradation  and
      vast cultural changes now sweeping unhindered across their borders".


     OGDEN'S FOURTH LAW
     ------------------
     "The ability of small groups to stop any activity greatly exceeds the
      power of large groups to get something moving".


     OGDEN'S FIFTH LAW
     -----------------
     "The American Constitution is  wrong:  All  people  are  not  created
      equal.  Modern  brain  wave  equipment, such  as  the  PET (Positron
      Emission Tomographic), the MRI (Magnetic Resonance  Image)  and  the
      new  QSI  (Quantified  Signal  Imaging)  scanners, show  that  brain
      capacity of individuals varies widely. These machines are indicating
      that  recordable  organic  differences  in  the  Human  Brain may be
      responsible  for  much  of  the  violence,  crime,  illness, erratic
      political decisions and  financial  crisis  encountered  in  today's
      world."

      The brain atlas will replace  the  resume  for Job Applicants of the
      future.


     OGDEN'S SIXTH LAW
     -----------------
     "When  we enter a new environment the quantity of new information can
      evoke not only change but transformation!"

    
     OGDEN'S SEVENTH LAW
     -------------------
     "Countries can no longer expect to manage their own  economies.  That
      control  is  now  in the hands of external forces and variables over
      which  they  have no authority.  The same applies to municipalities,
      cities and states or provinces."
    
    
     OGDEN'S EIGHTH LAW
     ------------------
     "As the market place globalizes in an information age environment, so
      do  the  cultures  of  those countries participating in that market-
      place.

      Economic and Cultural transfers are similar to genetic transfers  in
      the organic world.  The net effect to a  greater  or  lesser  degree
      becomes permanent."


     OGDEN'S NINTH LAW
     -----------------
     "In  times  of  panic, chaos or  rapid  change, the  bizarre  rapidly
      becomes acceptable."

    
     OGDEN'S TENTH LAW
     -----------------
     "Travelling to the future is like any other trip.  It is hard to know
      all about the destination until you arrive."

     OGDEN'S LAWS, PART II

     ---------------------
     Law #11: Knowledge is holistic.  A single specialized academic degree
              will soon be considered a  sign  of  brain  damage  that  is
              terminal at the Ph.D level.  Because of it's specialization,
              a  Ph.D  won't  provide  entry  into the Kindergarden of the
              future.
    
     Law #12: In the last age you learned the old three "R's".
              The new 3 R's are Ram, Rom & Run.
              The next lesson will be the three C's:
                                            Conflict, Crisis, Change.
              Kindergarden has JUST opened.
    
     Law #13: Deregulation will hit unions.  When automatic check  off  of
              dues by employees is eliminated, death will  come  on  swift
              wings.  In Canada, the majority  of  new  jobs  are  already
              coming from companies with fewer than five  employees.  This
              will not find favor with politicians, as such companies will
              not make large political donations to curry favor.

     LAW #14: When time, land, space  or  the  marketplace  is  uncharted,
              there are no maps, there are no rules.  Hence  no  teachers,
              only rare knowledge navigators.
    
     LAW #15: Industrial, agricultural and  stone-age  instincts  are  not
              automatically eradicated when not only  the  rules, but  the
              game itself is changed.  We are no longer playing  baseball:
              the game is now Jai Alai and  very  few  even  know  how  to
              spell it.
    
     LAW #16: The more shocking the  message, the  more  information  con-
              tained therein!

     LAW #17: Dry static book knowledge can no longer compete with dynamic
              visuals in an age when  pictures  travel  at  the  speed  of
              light.
    
     LAW #18: Produce what sells, not sell what you produce.
    
     LAW #19: An army of Techno-Peasants or Millionaires  can  be  created
              with the next new idea.
    
     LAW #20: True revolutions in science result not  from  pre-determined
              paths but from those who do not know what they  are  looking
              for, where they are going, (Copernicus, Newton, Einstein) or
              how to find it, until, through serendipity, they  trip  into
              the new landscape.
    
     Concieved in principal, February/March 1989 on the  same  beaches  in
     Portugal from whence Vasco  de  Gamma  and  Magellan, guided  by  the
     latest technology of their day, the  Astrolabe, left  on  their  epic
     voyages of discovery.  Slightly amended June 29, 1989.

    
Law #31. In the Valley of the Uninformed, an information-rich slave
can soon be Queen.

Law #32. In matters politic, regardless of the depth of deceit,
hidden truth is always worse than truth revealed.

Law #33. Lay persons must always eventually be right because experts
do not allow for the unanticipated.

Law #34. In a world led by the steamroller of accelerating change,
if you are not part of the steamroller you will soon become
part of the road.

Law #35. In the Information Age, the production cost of a product or
service may have no relation to its eventual value or
selling price.

Law #36. Institutions, governments and corporations are established
to solve problems and provide services to the public.
When they are no longer capable of solving problems and
serving the public at acceptable cost, they will collapse.
When a critical, unknown number of such institutions fail
the society in which they were nurtured will also face disinteg-
ration.

Man as a species survives. Man's cultures and societies never do.

Law #37. Playing it safe is now the most dangerous game on the planet.

Law #38. The politically correct acknowledge their leash to conformity
and lack of freedom.

Law #39. The greatest mistake executives and others may make today
is not being willing to pay for good information.

Law #40. The future can be dangerous to your wealth. Great mountains
of cash are no longer a protective shield against change.
