I agree that not everyone agrees that the world is headed in the right direction. We are likely headed for a world government without borders, the abolition of prisons, and a ban on non synthetic meat. Those of us old enough to remember a time before the Internet (like me) are the ones most likely to oppose such changes, but it wont matter because we won't live long enough to see it happen. Technology will make these changes practical and painless. And we will be absolutely dependent on it.
