What should a huge capital investment, technology advancement and improved education do in this 21st century? What is its authentic purpose? There are many questions that come to our minds when we think of capital investment, technology breakthrough and widespread of education system. What must they do?
Capital, technology and education have to perform their biggest duties of feeding billions of people all over the world and not only in developed nations but the developing and under developed nations. I think this is the main purpose of capital investment, technology advancement and education.
The schools, colleges and universities all over the world follow their missions to educate and create world class human beings through intensive courses, debates and research & development programmes; but how many of those finest intellects are intensively involved in the mission to alleviate global health care crisis, food crisis, housing crisis and environment crisis?
Couldn't we say that today we are better off million times more than before financially, technologically, mentally and demographically? So why not use the capital, technology and education to improve human condition at the grass root levels. When new technology is invented or new software is designed, we become so excited about it but why don't we get excited upon the idea to make the world a better place by working upon the complexity of providing better health care facilities, food supplies and housing facilities for all those people who have been left behind in the developing and under developed countries at affordable cost?
I am sad to say that despite technological advancement, large capital investment and improved education services we haven't achieved the goal of a harmonious co-existence. The purpose of technology, capital and education have so far remained as profit making entities whereby the focus is always individualism.
We have already stepped into a brand new century and with it comes new mission, new vision, new responsibility and new ways to look at the reality. Let's not see the world as some of our ancestors did rather try to look at the world differently from new angles. May be we can imagine of a world where we grow, live, multiply and thrive on this earth as a family of human and animal creatures. Our future generation will appreciate for having corrected or redesigned our purpose or vision.
I am quite optimistic though that it is within our resources, intelligence, technology and education to discover ways to solve the complex problems of human beings. One day we should not be ashamed of that though we had everything at hand to create a better world, we didn't give a thought to it.
So let's understand that capital, technology and education are the keys to solve the problems of human existence. It is possible if all the scientists, doctors, thinkers, entrepreneurs, investors, visionaries, teachers, workers and governments assemble together to start a collective campaign to provide better living conditions for all.
Today, capital, technology and education have marked a great progress but still a lot of progress has to be made in many aspects of human life.
