I think that most generations of human beings around the world have probably said, “How incredibly lucky we are to be living in the most exciting time in all of human history.” We should be no different. I see so many people taking for granted the explosion in human knowledge, understanding, and technology. Here’s a list of things, off the top of my head, which I find awe-inspiring:
- the mapping of the human genome
- global telecommunications
- social networking and technologies of emergence
- advances in space exploration
- medical science technology
- revolutionized cancer treatment
- AIDS as a chronic, manageable issue rather than a death sentence
- stem cell research and re-growth of organs
- harnessing sustainable energies
- the global discussion on and appreciation for universal economic development
