Technological Enlightenment (#50)

The technological revolution is here. So many opportunities are now available for us to take advantage. The access to technology is dependent on how we are able to manage our individual resources. If I want to have some device and operate it I must have some stability within my enviroment that gives me some economic freedom to pursue technological options. Those who are left out of the electronic pursuit are disadvantaged and their bridge to the future is much more meager in scope. In this society, our destiny's are interrelated making the least of us a reflection of everyone's inability to produce a cohesive image of enlightenment. Technology. when viewed from the point of view as a necessity for all human life, could begin to transform our weakness' toward strengths. Many fears will certainly attempt to ambush attempts to view all life as equally progressive and worthy of the tools to enlightenment, but being afraid should not deter us from our humanity toward each other. Eventually, my hope is that the great battle we continue to fight against each other will end and technology can play a big role toward our shared future. We, as individuals must continue to advance technology and when we are able help those who are not quite able to help themselves to be a part of our technological enlightenment.
