The Chiff.com posted an article, “Teens Predict Technology Will Change the World by the Year 2015.”
The article was extremely optimistic. While I do think that technology is definitely becoming a lot more mainstream amongst everyone, even the older generations, I don’t think that it will help us end these major issues anytime soon. The stats for the teens (89%) who felt that world hunger would end within the next 5 years with the help of technology just seemed a bit…off. As did the stats for the teens (1/3 of them) who thought that gasoline-run cars would become obsolete within the next 5 years. Those stats just seemed a bit too optimistic to be realistic. I don’t want to sound like a pessimist, but as a person who works with people who are dealing with poverty here in the states, and thats not even counting the horrible condition that third world countries are in, it just doesn’t even seem smart to think that way about things.
I for one would like to meet this group surveyed and just have a conversation with them.
