Looking Ahead, many in society see
technology being both the problem and solution to crime, a redesigned global
financial system narrowing the wealth gap, and job creation will be based on ideas
and exploration. We ask a group of Entrepreneurs (Risk-Takers) and a group of
career workers. Grouped by age; under or over 40 years old, education; below or
above tertiary level, income; under or over average for this geography and
wealth; below or above middle class. How do you see life’s issues changing in
the future? In the hope that answers, can bring mostly positive and progressive
change to solve such Life’s Issues, without making more or larger problems in
the very near future.
How do you see Crime
in the future? “With less violence as criminals will be robbing banks
electronically.” “With less violence as poverty decreases and education becomes
better.” Crime is proven to be rooted in a poor public education system, which
creates desperation and abject poverty. Eradicating poverty requires a
multifaceted approach, rooted in better education models, designed for an
individual not a group, and learning techniques, which teaches individuals at a
personal speed and level. Hence, with higher literacy levels within the
population, engagement in productive ventures, inclusive of tracking electronic
delinquency, becomes extremely crucial in crime management efforts.
How do you see the
Wealth Gap in the future? “Narrowing as earnings grow steadily and taxes are
charged on consumption only.” “Closing as consumption slows and assets values gradually
increase.” The wealth gap is the
unequal distribution of assets; homes, automobiles, personal valuables,
savings, and investments, among the population, which reacts along with changes
in economic activities. So, with better public education available, low
unemployment levels, and soft loans to purchase local, assets values will respond
better to maintenance schedules. Resulting in, slow steady economic growth and
a legally enforced long-term public balance budget in effect, to manage public consumption.
How do you see
Unemployment in the future? “With more jobs created through ideas; invention
and innovation, new and better product lines.” “With more jobs created via exploration
discovery and research, saving and investing money.” Lucrative employment is
created by savings and investments from the wealthy and/or the collective
taxpayers (the Government) and found through individual education and
experience. Future employment can be as a result of investment in exploration,
finding and testing new and better sources of raw materials, of manufacturing
processes, of distribution, and of pricing. Firstly, however, comes ideas,
which are the top-level jobs, producing the needed economic activities.
People, in the
future, expect tubal transportation systems; where passengers and cargo are
moved in and around communities via water powered capsules, combined with water
supply and distribution; where waste and treated water is moved throughout the
same community, and designed to both generate and use electricity; to pump the
said water. Such contracts, awarded by Government to expedite works and reduce
cost, maybe in the form of Private Public Partnerships.
Business Light seeks public
opinions, and gives a voice to the voiceless, to question and understand, to
address and oppose, and to improve their lives. Remembering that, society is
made up of many groups of individuals with differing points of view. Such
solutions may well come from the bottom up and can be measured by a Happiness Index.
