Ideas for the 21st Century

The idea that technology is nothing more than a tool used by humans to provide for more convenient and comfortable lifestyles seems to be the trend leading up to the 21st century. Humans have taken from the land and have almost always forgotten to give anything back to nature. This kind of thinking has led to environmental devastation of ancient landscapes in a relatively short period of time.

Expo 2005 – concerned with the theme "Nature’s Wisdom" – realizes that new ideas and technologies must be developed in order to end practices that wreck irreparable damage to the environment. In keeping with this theme, Expo 2005 suggests that the true meaning of technology is to draw out the hidden potential of nature so that it has new purpose. This new purpose must include environmental, technological and cultural concerns about local and global development.
