Chilean Mine Rescue Is Creativity In Action – Inspire A Child!
I have believed for years that technology is one of most important aspects of our future. I do not discount music, medicine, gardening, the arts, or math. But, I do not understand how people can be resistant to technology.
I love technology. I certainly have not understood many aspects of it over the years. But, technology has allowed us to accomplish so much that we have taken it for granted. For example, our computers can provide so much functionality like talking on the phone, video conferencing, and watching TV.
Yes, there are some things to be cautious about such as cyber bullying and Internet predators. But, I have focused on the human creative power and endless possibilities.
As I watched the capsule arrive inside the Chilean mine, I could not help but be moved by how much the technology we take for granted has improved our lives. I was fascinated to watch images from a camera positioned more than 2,000 feet below the surface of the earth capture a signal and broadcast it around the world. It was a testament to the human imagination. The fact that I cannot make it happen does not stop me from being able to appreciate how awesome the rescue capsule and images are. Perhaps, had I had a better science and technology education when my mind was fresh, I could produce technical wonders. But, that is not my mission. My purpose is to help advocate for the imaginations and creativity of today’s children.
Inspire a child!
