*TECHNOLOGY *DEVELOPING WORLD* TECH-TONICS*

L.P. Hartley once so beautifully said :

''The past is a foreign country''. He clearly wasn't thinking about the Developing World : Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Yemen, Syria Iran, Libya, Somalia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, ..........

And if things, indeed, are to change for the better, then the mediator will not be a new messiah, neither will there be spontaneous reversal of the ruling classes' morals-

Nor will it be China's benevolent hand, or America's ever changing interests.

In fact, short of some fortuitous, localised, miracle mutation of genes, nothing can change the Developing World's trajectory if it continues to go in the same direction - under the same thoughtless leadership -

Guided by the same short-termism which ignores history and reliably produces the same mistakes that brought us here to begin with.

But there is hope. We live in a world where old problems are being fixed with new solutions. And what is enabling this is Technology Tech-tonics

To understand the power of technology, one need only observe how far we have come along in the  human story.

Today, we have multiplied our food supply technology through advances in GMO technology, high-tech farming methods, and enhanced preservation techniques.

We have collapsed class room learning to virtual learning, opened portals to whole digital universes of archived knowledge on almost every discipline known to man.

Diseases which were once a threat to entire civilizations are now rendered impotent by no more than  vaccine shots.

Furthermore, we have cloned animals, sequenced human genome, and discovered energy sources which can power our planet with far greater efficiency than ever before.

Our digital communications, which once relied on manually operated phone exchanges, is today enabled by single click on our smartphone touch screen.

Billions of bits travel through the air, delivering our favorite content  -movies, games   -to our personal device all in real time.

And all this has been achieved in just the last few decades.

Imagine the possibilities of the time horizon stretching centuries into the future. Or even possibilities near still..............

!WOW! stops and thanks, researcher and author Taha Najeeb.

The Operational Research continues to Part 2.
