Getting gloomy there, Gus!
Think positive! Foundations are putting cell phones into the hands of women in the poorest parts of Africa. Those women then charge a fee for villagers to use the phone. Each time that technology is brought into a village, lives are changed for the better.
And as the world gets smaller, we have more neighbors to get to know. Nobody wants to bomb their neighbors (except ZP and the shrums).
If homogenizing the world's languages is the price we have to pay for peace, prosperity, and understanding, then let it happen, y'all.
