Abstract
We find ourselves in the 21st century due to the efforts and conscious decisions of generations before us. The technological advances and freedoms we enjoy have come by largely through sacrifice, foresight and an enduring curiosity to understand the world and worlds around us. Here by freedoms I am referring to freedom from all forms of bondage including ignorance. In this essay I shall argue that the salient features of a culturally advanced society are its efficient use of green technologies, advanced information, data acquisition and communication technologies and the ability to understand and harness the fundamental forces of nature in particular gravity.
