The rapid development of technology has resulted in a gap between the living standards of the highly industrialized countries and the underdeveloped countries. As a result, the 1.2 billion people in the advanced industrial countries consume seven-eighths of the resources. And the four billion residents of the "Third World" are faced with hunger in many areas. This is also a topic that those involved in science and technology ought to consider.
科技快速發展，造成高度工業化國家與未開發國家間生活水準的差距，使得佔有十二億人口的工業先進國，消耗了世界上八分之七的資源，而擁有四十億人口的所謂「第三世界」，許多地區卻呈饑餓狀態，這正是科技人員應該思考的課題。
