The World TodaySome glimpses of the world

A world of contrastsThat speaks to us in the language of signs – readable only by those

who can see.

“There's none so blind as those who will not listen.” ― Neil Gaiman, American Gods

Basic Necessities1. 3 billion live on less than $2.5 per day.2. Tonight more than 1 billion children will go to bed hungry.3. 22,000 children die everyday due to poverty4. On this planet 805 million people do not have enough

food to eat.5. More than 750 million of them lack adequate access to

clean drinking water.

What is a basic necessity?

So, what should be our focus?

Food, water, shelter, health care, education?

What will it take?1. In 1998, the UN estimated that it would take

$40 billion annually to offer basic education, clean water and sanitation, basic health and nutrition to every person in every developing country.

2. That would be about $58 billion today.

Compared to $ 1.4 Trillion on weapons

Hunger kills1. The World Food Programme says, “The

poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty.”

2. Hunger is the #1 cause of death in the world, killing more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.

than humans4. Self-driving cars & trucks & homes on solar energy

Imagination, innovation, creativity, curiosity, disagreement

Global changes1. Robotic manufacture, agriculture, housework, Petri

dish meat, insect protein 2. Medicine: Device that at works with your phone,

takes retina scan, blood sample and you breathe into it.

3. It then analyses 54 biomarkers that will identify nearly any disease.

4. Advanced stem cell technology will allow you to make or replace organs. Life expectancy will be around 115 to 125 years
