What I have learned about the recent history is that we are not able to predict the development of new technologies, neither visualize the true picture of future. But one thing we can be sure - our children live there and they shape the future. I am sure that nore than ever thay are shaping it nowadays and Global Junior Challenge is about recognazing the digerati, who is reshaping the future today.
