Today is the generation of information technology.To have information of your surroundings and keep pace with the world you need to have up-to date information. not only a Business men needs to kept informed about the changes of rules and trend in given market , you should have even students to kept well informed about the new sub branches of the Fields they are studying so that they can decide more accurately the Carrier they want to choose .Not only information tells you to carry umbrella today or not the information of how to make a good dish in TV show can make you mouth watering when you find nice colored dish made by your wife witch she watched on TV. Not only TV gives you news it can tell your grand parents the new developments in medical science so that they can have little more hope and chance to live more comfortably. I think i have given you quite a bit of information.

There always seems to be a new breakthrough.  Little by little traditional cancer research is gaining ground.  As far as soon?  That would take a major breakthrough.  But look at the rise in technology over  the past 100 years, and then the past decade.  We have not only more educated and then knowledgeable brains working on it, but think about the knowledge that isn't being lost now when someone  in the research field dies.  You don't have to go searching for a book for answers, it's right there on a computer.  Quick access has made knowledge so readily available that the rise in medical technology should continue to spike off the charts.   So, at the rate it's going the past predictions of stating a cure may be found in 50 years could be reduced to "some time soon"er than anyone thought.

yes according to the current rate of growth, it is said that CHINA is abt to become the greatest economic power of the world by 2025. india is expected to be 2nd in the list. however it is going to be difficult for CHINA to maintain the top spot for long, as it is expected that the country would face acute labour shortage in the near future. the main reason for this is the population control policy of the country. on the other habd, india has no such policy in action which is being followed. thus the growth advantage of the future iswith INDIA. now to utilise it, the GOVT. of INDIA needs to plan and construst infrastucture on a larger scale.

Wow zaheers writing IS happening at an exponential rate, But it was a good answer, because bottom line we have no hard facts that prove exponential growth, recently of warming, lots of good theories though.

No.\n\nCO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.\n\nLook at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest, and 2006 is shaping up to maybe break that record.\n(see links below)\n\nHow's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.\n\nThere has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.\n\nYes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up. \n\nJust to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.\n\nHI CO2: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4467420.stm\nHOCKEY STICK: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5109188.stm\nGeneral climate stuff: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3897061.stm

it has increased them..believe me.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

Yes, because we are evolving into a globally concerned society, as opposed to an individually concerned one.

Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of Knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.As we acquire more Knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible but more mysterious.

There is good evidence to suggest that the global patterns are shifting abnormally, but there is also good evidence to suggest that the patterns are not shifting abnormally.\n\nAsk again in 20 years and we'll know for sure.  ;)

I would say it's increasing since we have increased trade with China and learning it would provide job openings for those that know it.
