We live in a world of rapid technological advancements which generate significant opportunities and advantages but also creates significant risks. It’s hard to imagine that just 100 years ago when you went to town for supplies you most likely would have walked, ridden a horse or rode on an ox-drawn cart. A trek across country was a multi-day adventure on a steam locomotive. Kerosene lamps were used to light most homes, and electricity was just beginning to make its debut.
Today, people get in their car for a short hop to the grocery store or fast food restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The longest coast to coast airline route is just over six hours in length... a shorter time than it used to take most people to ride into town in their horse-drawn carriage.
