The World our Children are Inheriting

I heard an interesting thought yesterday. It went something like this: Consider all of the incredible inventions of the past hundred years. Our children won't have to reinvent all of the amazing technologies that we take for granted today. They won't have to reinvent the computer, TV, semiconductor chips, nanotechnology, etc., they can simply add on to the the great inventions that now exist. That means to me that the next generation of technological advancement could be even greater than the one that we just experienced. Does that mean that as a world population, the ability or availability to enjoy life by all the people of the world can take place? Who will do the work and how do we keep from becoming idle? Is a world Utopia within our grasp, and how should it be administered? Will pride, greed, jealousy, and/or laziness derail a world of peace and prosperity? Can world peace and prosperity happen? I think it can.
