![]() ![]() I am not disputing this, I have no idea if it's true or not. ![]() And I know this is where older generations throw up their hands in indignation and start yelling about how exams were much harder in "their day" and they really had to work for it. On average, people today are smarter than they were fifty years ago. But here's what I do know: the average world life expectancy is higher, the infant mortality rate is lower, access to education is greater and the amount of countries that hold regular, fair elections has increased. Now, I know I'm writing with limited perspective and that progression and development hasn't been the same all over the globe and even the definition of those words can change depending on what part of the world you live in. But one thing I believe with all my heart is that we live in a world which, on the whole, is better than it was fifty years ago. We do not live in a perfect world in fact, in many ways we don't even live in a good world. As I write this review, the year is 2012. ![]()
