Buckminster Fuller declared that the Class of 1989 would be the first graduating class in the history of the world to have grown up when large-scal- e technological projects were accomplished as a matter of course. He stated that it would be evident to this class and the classes following that the available is technology currently sufficient to provide a high standard of living for every person in the world, and that the only thing needed is the willingness of a global populace to work toward accomplish such a standard. Fuller concluded that, since the technology is available, each one of us must focus our attention on working always and only for all human beings and, in so doing, using the world's resources effeciently. Fuller called this process "the 1989 world embracing design science revolution" which he further predicted would result in the transformation of all humanity into an "omniharmonious, d economically successful, one-worl- family." In fact, such a global perspective is already beginning to take shape in the world, as evidenced by unprecedented hunger relief efforts transcending national boundaries, U.S.- - China trade opening up, and the warming of East-Werelations. Fuller studied and documented human technological progress through all human history. In so doing, he came to question the long-hel- d belief that there is a scarcity of resources available for all human beings. In fact, he discovered that humanity now has a newfound and ability to do more with st ever-expandi- ng less, calling this phenomenon "ephemeralizatlon." Fuller concluded that it is necessary to deal with the whole planet Earth, and had some specific advice regarding it: The things to do are: the things that need doing; that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see needs to be done." We regard this as an invitation to each and every one of us to discover what we want to contribute to the world, and to commit out talent, our enery, and or resources to the accomplishment of in fact, visionary actions powerful which elevate the quality of life for all who reside on this planet. As the Class of 1989 graduates into the world, the opportunity awaits them and the rest of us to Join in Duckys commitment to advantage all humanity to notice what needs to be done, and to do it Forum 3 |
