Dear Anthony, could you be more specific about your question? What is it that you mean by "common goal"? It sounds like an interesting question.

Science is vast field so to say a totally map of sky & sea , when we speak these two areas the sky is a limit .Science covers the entire areas & in certain line it has an universal & global effect ,It is in this respect that science may keep a common goal but with certain line of effective research .It is in this line science is a vast ocean .

This is my personal opinion

Always - yes, definitely! And this is knowledge itself.

Dear Prof. Anthony St. John,

The answer to your question has two faces, black and white. For instance, the history of computing and related communications technologies prove that the computer is originally launched for the destruction of humanity. This history has witnessed many revolutions. Unfortunately, these revolutions are originally launched for the destruction and making crimes against humanity.

By examining the history of computing, we will find that computers and the related underlying technologies are originally invented to support military purposes. For instance, look at the following revolutions:

• The jumping to transistors as an alternative for the earlier Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs).
• The manufacturing of the microprocessors that are originally for military weapons.
• The Internet is invented for the military communication network
• Cloud computing (CC)
• Internet-of-Things (IoT)

On the other hand, as long as "Money Speaks Louder Than Ethics" and "Politics has no Religion" are the rules of this time, we will stay in this brutality' age!

طالما أن "المال يتكلم بصوت أعلى من الأخلاق" و "السياسة ليس لها دين" هي قواعد هذا الوقت ، فسوف نبقى في عصر الوحشية هذا!
