I believe that the world is already a global village - and that this state of interdependence is our reality. Technology must be used to unite and connect the peoples of the world so that we can together create wealth, peace and justice. We are at the most extraordinary juncture in human history and it is up to us to make the choices that will ensure the prosperity of humankind.
