This is my question in this days.
The world is a little small villege everyone know everything about all.
People around the world are near the 6 miliard.
The good water to drink in all the world are 0.3% from all the water on the glob'.
Our Planet is becoming hotest.
Very much people are poor and not working.
The economy is very bad.
The technology is going fster and faster and people live up to age 85-100 but without mony.
Maybe there are more things to say.
Your answer/opinion please,thanks.

A cashless society just might not be such a bad thing, as2006. I honestly believe that without the incentive of greed people would work together to make this world a place of love and harmony - as it was meant to be.

This world will never be rid of greed as long as the human race exists. It's simply a sad fact of man's fallen nature.
A cashless society would be absolutely horrible for the world. You're talking about planting an ID chip in every single person, ostensibly for security purposes and making it easier to make financial transactions and such, but inevitably leading to Big Brother tracking every move you make, which is a horrible invasion of privacy.

Not sure where we go from here, but something has to give. Young people can't support all of my baby boomer generation in nursing homes. They're worried about epidemics, but that's what used to "right size" the world. Just like when animals get to be too many for their habitat, they would starve or die of disease and there would be fewer so there would be more food and water. But medicine over-rides the laws of nature. People don't die when they're supposed to, they live in nursing homes for many years, I think of them as wearhoused humans, to what avail? People with dementia or alzheimers used to wonder off and die. I don't know what the answer is, but I think something will have to give eventually. They want us to work more years before full retirement, but the jobs aren't there.

Maybe because of the leaders we have. How I wish that all of us do all good things so that end product will also be good. Maybe in the next generations to come it will be a better earth to live in.

Well, am not a fortune teller to say or come up with a solution but i could suggest that people should simply help each other to sort out some problems that is happening in the problem in the world today. Meaning, those details that you mention are not only facts but problems as well. where do we from there, we solved it since we started it from the beginning. but just like i said before, it's gonna take a while and am no fortune teller!

Its always hot here in the desert and this year it just got into the 90s so we have had a very good spring just NO rain.
AS for living longer is a good thing for most but not for all . It always helps top have SS or some kind of saving to try to make doo when Y a get older.

In the first place, if the world is such a little small village, when everyone is poor and not working, there will not be any technology advancement. In my opinion, without adequate quality of food, water and life, it is difficult to live up to a ripe old age of 85-100. The fact there is technology advancement means the small village is just a part of the world. Then all is not lost. The big players will somehow look after the small village or at least ensure the small village thrive to survive and improve under weak conditions. If the village is beyond help, then let the village collapse. The fit people will surely move out the the village to seek greener pastures. Life is beautiful!

the world only has 0.3% of water true. BUT 0.1 is fresh clean water for drinking and 0.12 is stored in the Antarctic as ice and 0.9 is for the Himalayas. the more water we use its only going to effect us in the future. with the advancement of modern science and human technology it is possible to live up to a hundred and ten it has been said. the more we cause global warming we shall soon be living under water. so where do we go now from here? i reckon that we go back to the very beginning how it all started and try to save our beloved planet first before we do anything else.

There is a lot to say. You are absolutely right in your opinions and observations about the earth's current situation. It's scary and who do you believe? One group says that global warming will end us, another says no. To some the end of the world will be in 2012. The rich keep getting richer and the poor continue to suffer. There is no conceivable way to "even" things up for people. It will always be slanted toward the wealthy. I don't really think there is a solution. I can only do what I can do in my little part of the world. In my every day life, I constantly make a concerted effort to do my part in whatever way I can in that moment. That's all I can do. The only part of your statement that I tend to disagree with is that everyone knows everything there is to know about our earth. I still believe there are untapped places left to be discovered and I hope to discover one myself!

The world I see is as follows:
Through the internet,people can know customs and make friends all over world.Our insight is wider and wider.
Although there are more and more people who lost job and no money,they always struggle for life and do their best to look for job and support themselves.
Science do more benifits to human.For example, the internet change our life.The medical tech makes people live longer.
On the other hand ,every thing has two hands.There are also many negetive parts in the world.But we must beleive the world and the people.

Despite all the crises that the whole planet Earth is experiencing right now, I believe that it is always better that all of us will think positively and have strong faith in God in the midst of crises. Here in the Philippines, the status of Filipino citizens can be compared to a triangle or pyramid. Only a few on top who are considered to be the elite and several at the bottom where most people are living below the poverty line. When I heard about the global financial crisis, I wondered if the richest countries on Earth are slowly declining particularly in their economic status, how much more to my beloved country which was categorized to be a third world country? But then I strongly trust in God that He will never leave His children. I guess it's the right time for all of us to be selfless enough and do our duties responsibly in saving the whole humanity.
