Comparison of Christensen and Pink

Both books were similar in that they discussed the impact of technology on education, business, outsourcing, the use of graphs and pics to validate their points of view, thinking and the need to adapt to change. They both emphasized (in differening tones) the urgency for society and educators to "keep up with the times" and adapt to change in order to be successful in today's economy and learning environments.

The books are different because they were published three years apart from one another. Another difference, I found quite interesting was the "tone" of each of the authors. Christensen's tone was straightforward and forceful, while Pink's message was impacting --yet the tone was subtle. (Perhaps geared more towards all the right-brainers out there!)

Both books were interesting , enlightening and emphasized the necessity of adapting to "change". I enjoyed reading them both.
