The perfect world?

My idea of utopia is parallel to Brave New World in a lot of ways. The advancement in technology and medicine would be to the point that the human life would be extended and the quality of life would be good right up until one died. I would defiantly not have any of the preprogramming or even factory like creation of children seen in BNW, the family life would still play a large roll in my utopian society. Most of the unpleasant jobs would be replaced by robots or automated processes. People who did not excel in school to be doctors, chemist, designers, congress men and so on would be able to take a position as simple maintenance person, more like watching the robots and automated processes. Each country would vote on leaders and on a world leader and world senate. The country leaders could make rules much like state leader do now, they still have to answer to federal law but they can decide for the most part what they want to do. There will still be families that fall on hard time and there will still be pain and longing and sadness but these feeling are what make the happy times seam better. This world will still have conflicts that break out into war. Each country will still have armies. Basically it’s the society we have now with a lot more world communication and I wish we, as a whole, though more about what we are doing now and how that affects the future. But other that that I think we have a pretty good society all and all. Just keep advancing technology and the understanding of the world around us through science, philosophy, art and most important communication.
