Why our information age is primitive?

Almost everyone I meet or talk to or read about has been hit in some way by the crisis cocktail that the world is facing . We've been through an age of population explosion but now the impact of the information explosion is burying the effect of the former.

We have built large number crunching machines, huge information hungry satellites,precision technologies to retrieve and dig the information and illustrate mind blowing predictions and forecasts.

But the unfortunate reality was that none of them have helped to disaster proof our homes, our career, our money and our lives.Face the fact!! we are still primitive.

We cannot help ourselves, the helplessness of our 'leaders' today is the evidence.Of course things will become better, not because of somebody's 'strategy' or changed policies or a peace talk or some great guy's interference.

Fortunately or unfortunately we have been given the power to control our actions, and not their consequences.That's why the wise old proverb says, "Prevention is better than cure."Things will change slowly, we need to be patient and take collective measures to protect ourselves, the greatest thing we can do to help is to stop the condition from worsening.

Then, we need to move forward with a repentant heart for buying facts at the cost of wisdom.
