To me it is more of a social issue than anything else. We have medicine and food in good supply yet they remain undistributed to many people. Until we change our priorities I fear a lot of our problems will continue.

YES! Absolutely correct! And this may sound silly, but I think that is where there is value to a site like Steemit. Here among all the noise of spam etc, we can see a bit of real community. And in community is where ideas can be discussed and people's minds can be enlightened, educated and changed. Because like you say even if the tech is there, people have to demand the changes!! Well said , my friend.

I had to resteem this!!
