Are you like me and can hardly believe the millennium was 25 years ago? I can remember waiting with bated breath for Australia to roll over to 2000 and rejoicing when the lights stayed on. Those were the days.
The innocence of technology at that time is almost funny when you see how it is being used now to not just mold opinion but actually bring down cherished institutions and ruin reputations. I know that there are incredible benefits in health care and significant improvements for industry but much of it makes me nervous.
2025 brings with it many challenges and risks not the least of which are fragile governments, climate changes and the erosion of civil and human rights. Where to look for positivity?
Me, I like to look at the small things in the hope that grouped together there will be a snowball effect. I want to keep my critical thinking hat on but I also want to find joy in everyday life. That is my wish for 2025, that we backhand the hate speech and find joy.
