There’s an old song“I’m Sitting On Top Of The World “It’s a about a young man who couldn’t be happier as he looks at the world through the proverbial “Rose ColoredGlasses”The real world in 1925 was much as it is now- a mixture of wonder- enjoyment-beauty- death - destruction-starvation and racismIf we were living at the top today-we would see a very different world with incredible changes some for the better - some for the worse and some never even considered then but now with our amazing technology a real threat to our planetWith the ability we have today we can see in to the future to detect climate patterns of warming and pollution that have already made an impact on usWe can not only hear events taking place anywhere in the world but can see them instantaneouslyMany more are better clothed -betterfed- better houses than in 1925But the ravages of war as well as the other ills that existed then are still presentOur biggest weapon now is the the knowledge gained through this technology not only to foresee the future but to address both man- madeand natural disastersWe cannot solve all these potential issues but we can deal with them more effectively if we make that commitmentIf we are successful on any levelThe vision of our children and their children may enable them to sit on top of the world with a better -safer futureIt is within our power
