How is the new millennium shaping up? Is the Information Age making it possible for any sized business to reach any other individual or organization in any place in the world? Is it time to recognize that we are global citizens? Should we not be celebrating our similarities and differences? Do we want a new world order? Are we ready for the power shifts currently occurring? What is going to happen with all of these corporate mergers and scientific/technological breakthroughs? Is this the challenge of the new millennium? Is this the promise of progress?
