    Translator's comment

    Who are the backward thinkers?

    Backward thinkers are more traditional than their forward thinking counterparts. When faced with a challenge, they examine the various angles and scenarios methodically. And their appetite for change isn’t as…’forward’ as the forward thinkers might like it to be. Backward thinkers start by pondering where they’ve been. They see linkages between old and new and the type of bridge they’d need to construct one girder at a time in order to get there. They’re often considered responsible for slowing down the adoption of social media. But it’s not necessarily because they dislike it, it’s simply their nature to take their foot of the gas.
