"The literature, research and press reports are quite clear climate change is inevitable and the timeline for feelings its effects are here today and possibly a shift in sealevel of 230 feet or so can happen tomorrow. Technology has allowed us to extract resources such as oil at a more efficient level but regulations have failed to prevent major disasters and natural disasters are occurring at ever greater frequency. The IOT will be used to monitor and expand monitoring of the environment as a people centric endevour and robotics will enter to aid preservation of the biodiversity of the planet. Technology and nature are interdependant now."

"The special relationship between the student and teacher is well documented. The seeker of Knowledge and the sponge that wants to soak it up interacting with the person, who in the past induldged and now teaches others. Technology has now entered into the picture and is allowing that dynamic interaction to occur across time and space. lessons taught years ago and recorded continue to teach today. The Librarian and schools serve to direct the learning and supplement the person to person interactions and create curriculum to cover the current art andskills demanded in business. Education costs should be support from both business and government to have a capable workforce to achieve the goals required to protect us all."
