Our instincts tell us that the supreme and genuine power
of God has far reaching objectives with the absolute parameters
of Nature: - the infinite time, the infinite space, matter
in all its forms, energy in all its forms and life in all
its forms. There is no denying that these objectives will
be fulfilled through life, through people and through technology.
From these instincts, I believe that we can try to formulate
in our minds what these far reaching objectives would be:
Allow me to guess that one of these objectives would be
the era of uniting life on all planets and progress to the
stage in which life will be able to travel from planet to
planet and mingle with one another just as life travels
from New York to London, Moscow to Beijing, Tokyo to Cape
Town, Addis Ababa to Cairo etc. these mingling process will
no doubt take millions and millions of years. To fulfill
these objectives the most important tool people would need
is communication technology.
When I look back to the times when the drum was used as
a means of communications and to the years when Morse-code
played a significant role in the relatively improved means
of communication, I am amazed by the giant strides communication
technology has taken in such a comparatively short time.
The evolution and fast growth of electronics technology
involving terrestrial and satellite networks is influencing
all sectors of human activity. Modern electronics whether
in developing or developed countries will need wider and
growing applications. It has proved to have one of the highest
stages of growth over the past decades, and again allow
me to guess that it will have a great potential role to
play in the achievement of the far reaching objectives of
uniting life in this planet with life in other planets.
