I have been reading all these wonderful ideas but somehow I see a serious disconnect between the developed and developing world. I am a member of the developing world and so far have not been able to connect to members of the developed world.

From what I see, knowledge seems to trickle from the top but somehow this equation has to be revisited and knowledge has turned into an organic form and is being produced in every little island where humans reside. How do we collect this knowledge and put them forward for world to learn and share from and how do we create a model where there is equity in sharing? These are the issues of today and the world needs to begin its journey into these tricky affairs with an open mind and not with an 'us versus them attitude.' Last of all, we need to have a sustainable universe so let us start moving in that direction.
