Where are we now and where are we going ?

Do you feel that the world we live in now is becoming crowded and more crowded day by day ?

when I was a child 20 years ago, I used to play with my friends in the big farms, wide gardens, and large squares that I can find everywhere in Sukabumi, West Java, my hometown in Indonesia. Year by year the lands become eroded and now I find no more place for kids to run, play, only in the streets. For the ones who have much money, the can take their kids to play in the playgroup in city centers or malls. The lands I used to play there now are full of houses and buildings and I find people everywhere. I find the phenomenon is everywhere all over the world. Can you imagine that ?

Not only crowded the world now as well is becoming hot. Building constructions are everywhere. We find fewer trees and green lands. The world now is not comfortable anymore to live in. should we move to another planet then ? At the same time we don’t feel that distance is problem anymore. The great people’s inventions are able to make us meet our friends, family, other people overseas without wasting time and money to visit them. We can just sit, turn on your computer, click internet connection, and your people you want to meet are there. You can talk face to face. Or even by an advanced technology the portable ones like laptop or mobile have been installed internet connection in it. That’s fantastic !

That’s the place we are now, in a red alert !

Thomas L Friedman in his latest book entitled “Hot, Flat, and Crowded” makes us to muse and inquire why the beautiful world now is really hot and crowded and flat ? and what would happen if the convergence of three elements are sustained for the following decades ? how many more population will occupy ? how crowded is the world then and where are we going ? and why so many people are still not aware of the reality ?

In the detail description with a number of facts, Friedman has tried to figure out the issue and unravel one by one correlation among the global politics issues with economics, environmental, terrorism issues, and the impact of the elements to humankind life in a global scale. He finally offered the way out and solution for us where we should start to take action to delay the end of man history because of the great impact of global warming. No time to argue, no time to doubt, to discuss, to delay, don’t waste your energy for that but start to optimize your brain to save your life by saving electricity, recycling used stuffs, forestation your land, using biohybrid fuels and any smart efforts.

One thinks smartly another one follows and more people think so, I bet we can make the change for the better world in the future. Don’t think that what we do now it will only effect to your self alone but other people as well in the future.
Happy earth day, Guys...Peace !!!
