We've come into the new millennium with a wonderful invention - Internet. And same as with the invention of a wheel or electricity or automobile our world will never be the same. It is changing rapidly as we speak.
Internet is not a luxury – it’s a powerful tool, a necessity. Not everybody is having it yet, but everybody is coming to understanding of necessity to have it.
Internet gives us immense possibilities. It supplies us with answers, it teaches us and helps us in everyday life. It educates us. It gives us the power of communication as never before. And it unites us.
We are still paying exorbitant prices for cellphones and convenience of it but Internet connection brings as something that is affordable fast and promising. We can talk to the whole world and get response and we do not have to pay arm and leg for that. Technology is there. All it needs just a little bit of a fine tuning, just more knowledge for a regular user and voila, - no more borders or restrictions unless somebody invents it to prevent us to use it freely as we should do, as we have a right to do.
It's so wonderful, I do not even have words for it. Thanks, technological geeks, thank you all who contributed to it. I cannot imagine my life without Internet. It's like a whole new world right at your desk, like a universe of knowledge and wisdom from the entire world.
Another thought. We have year 2010 and think about it: we did not have a world war since 1945, it's amazing.
May be as a civilization, we've learned something. May be we will be able to stop killing each other and start solving mutual problems, set mutual goals. Is it really possible? Are we going to be lucky or what?
At the same time finally people start realizing that indeed you are what you eat. We finally started on a global scale pay attention to nutrition.
We encourage people to eat healthy and to grow healthy stuff. Most people in civilized countries understand the importance and actively go for it.
Racism and religious chauvinism are not something that can easily be eliminated, but in most civilized countries these traits are not openly tolerated.
We have a black president in US and this fact speaks volumes.
We still have terrorism as a serious danger.
We have aids and other dangerous diseases, famine and local wars are still gruesome realities for many.
We still collect atomic and biological weapons.
We still get depressed and depression becomes younger. We still need help, we need somebody to come and save us from ourselves.
Can we still survive in our world? Can future generation survive and prosper and be happy?
Do we really care? Do we all need to be happy? Well, I am sure you can answer that last one, it's not difficult.
