The Tofflers were a couple of old folks who couldn’t figure out how to program their VCRs, so they began writing about the “shock” of technology and how we needed government planning to deal with technological overload… Their big idea was that the world was about to change faster than it ever had before, creating a technological explosion that would frighten and baffle the masses… The government would have to have advisers and committees in order to ease the transition. Gingrich… announced that all legislation passed by the new Congress would have to pass a test: Will it help move America into the Tofflers’ vision of a ‘Third Wave’?”
Coulter added: ”Not only were (the Tofflers and Gingrich’s ‘Third Wave’ ideas) completely crazy, but Newt’s grand schemes didn’t quite fit the Republican model of a small, unintrusive federal government.
To say the least. Here’s a well done video recollection: Newt Gingrich and the Tofflers – “A Love Story”

I read the "Third Wave" 30+ years ago. It was an interesting book for people who weren't ready to confront the information age... The entire notion that Gingrich would propose the authors as the basis of a new society demonstrates that Gingrich has no business being President of the United States. George Will had this exactly right -- Gingrich would have made a great Marxist... Government programs... Government control... That's Gingrich. Sure.. Gingrich may have have good intentions. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. We don't need command and control. We need freedom.
