New era...New challenges?

At the dawn of every century along the course of human history new ideas associated with new inventions were launched that helped in establishing and enriching the human civilization. However, they lead to conflicts between men and nations.
Those who were pioneers in realizing their targets and dreams; that put their will and determination toward achieving them turned to be the leaders of their time.
For centuries, the dream of aviation haunted the thoughts and dreams of man until the Wright brothers introduced the first flying machine on November 9th, 1904. Wilbur Wright flew Flyer II for a flight that lasted merely less than five minutes and in those five minutes the course of human history was taking a new lane.
The best evidence that proves the Wright brother's incomparable determination to make their dream come true is the enormous amount of letters sent and received back and forth with technology institutions demanding for records and data of all the previous flight attempts, designs and drawings. Those letters reflect how much they had a strong gut feel they were on the right path toward making their dream come true. A degree of certainty, clarity of vision that when available to man, the fear of the unknown is put to side and a carte blanche is granted right away for advancement. Thus, leading to exploring new fields of science, reaching new limits of control, power and exploitation of the resources that God’s nature has to offer.

Reaching a consensus about the criterion of a certain era is not an easy task. Yet, defining the broad lines and aspects of modern time seems to be a hazardous mission for some. Though, it is an obligation in order for us to be capable of locating our rank on the line of advancement, to allocate the sufficient resources necessary to make our daily demands and wants feasible.

The twentieth century was shaped by the impact of the inventions introduced and of how far man put them into application. Man had set foot on the moon, and space missions were launched to realize the infinite boundaries of the universe.
Experiments and plans were carried out at great cost of time and resources. Yet, they yielded an unprecedented amount of knowledge in all branches of sciences, even introduced man to whole new branches. 

Nowadays, we are witnessing a swift and revolutionary advancement in the means of mass media and broadcasting yet a question remains: What would be our lives like ten years or so from now when TVs, radios..etc no longer
