Is this generation in lots of trouble?
Is everything going to be worse for us, compared to our parents?
I could say that this is a possibility.Our parents and grandparents fought for a better future, now we have to fight to keep it!
The sad story is that the earth could be getting a non-desirable place to live. It’s not the hurricanes or even the global warming I am talking about. It’s only getting too crowded with lots of wastes around us. Even if we dont care about losing a part of biodiversity (by extinguishing a few more species), it’s bad thing for human people as well!
The world could be changing to be more environmentall, to protect or to create a viable environment for all of us – and for our children.
On the other hand it’s getting better.
The percentage of people living in absolute poverty worldwide is obviously dropping.They get more access to clean water and education. Most of us will be able to buy more than our parents could. We consume more and better quality goods. It seems that there is less possibility for a world war now , than a few years earlier. World is getting a better place to live – one step at a time!
I am not yet convinced that the world as we know it will end sometime soon from a huge hurricane or tsunamis striking every coast of the planet.I feel that the solution lies inside human nature – it will be studied by scientists and engineers will solve the problems in ways that will make the next generation live in a cleaner environment than we did!

I am a libertarian planning to write my thoughts about almost everything here. I also enjoy high tech and networks.
