In this digital era, the challenge is how to use telecommunication channels to promote peace and prosperity?
If the tools of communication are in hands of honest and ethical-minded persons, such tools will benefit humanity. If in the wrong hands, they will be used as weapons of war.
Reaching the moon or outer space is one thing. Reaching out to humanity to promote an atmosphere of sanity is altogether another matter.
Today we see many communication channels are terrorised or made subservient to do obeisance to arrogant power- hungry statemen and politicians. We need to condemn such proclivities.
Let students be taught the rightful uses of technology. As they grow up to occupy positions of service, they can be messengers and promoters of peace, human rights and sustainable development
Why should we not use technology to declare war on hunger, fascism, fundamentalism and hate politics?
