Arguably, the world seems more complex and challenging because we are becoming more easily connected to people, information, and resources around the world.  Ubiquitous communications and information technology carries a flood of information about the world into our homes, workplaces, cars – everywhere we go.  We can learn of election frauds in Africa, tsunami victims in Asia, global shifts in economic activity, or a student's arrest in Egypt on our mobile phones.  In addition, we are all becoming increasingly aware of our planet's limitations.  The most recent technology explosion involves information technologies that move us from a "broadcast world," where a handful of voices set information priorities, to an interactive world – where we access information on our own terms and shape perspectives. The 21st century world is more connected – our economies, information, and awareness are shared like never before.
