Technology has made it an unavoidable fact of our lives." The interaction of news, cultures, economics, politics, environment etc. has created a complex, multi-level Global Village. However, our leaders and institutions, including Media, are still geared towards the short term, linear, specialized and particular, especially given the demands of the News Cycle. Discussion is still overwhelmingly single-issue and polarized, with two (balanced) sides to each issue, which is simplistic and dumbs down discussion. There is no mainstream Vision beyond the how to maintain Consumer Society. This failure of leadership includes both politicians and the Media, increasingly obedient to the dictates of corporate concentration.
