The 21st... !

"3,2,1,0....

Wow!! The 21st century has begun!!"

This is what I said at the beginning of January 1st, 2001. Before that time I wondered what would be changed in 21st century. There were many stories about highly developed science technology. As we had foreseen, there have been many changes, nevertheless we have undergone only two years of the 21st century, so far. Some of the non-offcial civilians who are rich havevisited space, and impressed by the beautiful outer space scene. And the very-fast-internet systems like ADSL were developed and most of people are already using that system. So what will appear in the remaining time of 21st century?

I think that the least developed part of modern technology is space technology. Although we have been developing it for 50 years, now, we still can't get out of the solar system ourselves. We can not even step on the surface of Mars, yet. We have many sattelite dishes. I think that making sattelites and making them to rotate in a circular orbit whose center is earth is is not a space technology because it is limited in earth. Except the sattelites, the number of our production about ST(space technology) is very little. In 21st century the ST will be developed more rapidly than it has developed in the 20th century.

There are many other modern technologies, but I want to consider only IT, now.

IT, which means 'information technology', have undergone very bright developments since the end of the 20th century, by the power of internet. The power of internet is extremly huge. It allows access to many,various platforms of information, so its nickname is "the sea of information". It enjoy widespread connection allower the world. As a results communication is now very active among many people. It is a surprising thing because pressing some buttons or clicking a mouse wide-ranging communication is available. It is a vital thing in this age.

We have looked around in our next world. I can't tell you what changes will come exactly, because there will be many unimaginable changes. So we have to prepare courselves so that we can survive in the competition of 21st century!!
