What kind of a world would you like to live in?

How do you see yourself living in the future? Has the world finally become a better place? Did all the advancements in technology and innovations have any role to play towards it? Why is it that we strive for improvement and perfection? Since centuries we human beings have shown one clear trait and that is constant change for the better. Be it the weapons we use to hunt with, the clothes we wear or even the manner in which we cook our food.
Although we have come a long way from our prehistoric style of survival we need to ask ourselves - Will we ever draw a line? Will our needs ever end? The constant attempts to fulfill our needs lead to many great inventions which have become an integral part of our lives. Many of these great innovations make lives easy for us, many of them actually save our lives, while others are just another drop in our pool of leisure.
New ideas, innovations and creations are constantly changing the world around as we constantly attempt to keep up. Many years from now perhaps the more sensible and simpler question to ask would be, "What has remained the same?". One cannot help but take a moment to wonder what our world would look like in the future. Would it be for the better or the worse? Many products even today undergo such drastic design makeovers to enhance their appeal, quality or functionality that many of them will be unrecognizable or obsolete in the future.
The world i see myself living in is extremely advanced especially in terms of technology. Life will become even more relaxed if that's even possible. But with the advancement of technology it is important certain issues which blotch the world be addressed and resolved. If we are unable to present such productive and progressive solutions then we are only moving forward to slide backward again...
