Feb 17 2012: Some challenges, which the global humanitarian community is facing, can be solved by the use of digital channels / medium. However, to my understanding, there are a lot of rational / emotional walls, e.g the issue of who to trust, which may or may not be ever solved by any (digital) means.
May 11 2011: My comment may sound a bit provocative:
I wonder how long do we, human animals, still desperately seek a scientific/technological solution to the fundamental global challenge: we are way too many, we consume way too much and we are way to ignorant - in order to sustain a future for all species on this planet.
This said, I truly doubt that living longer and healthier will show us a way out of the apocalyptic equation.
