I think it's a sad fact, but people the world over are becoming more and more insular at home, safe and secure in their "comfort zone". So few people these days seem to have the drive, energy or inclination to experience the true meaning of life.

The cause may well be the day-to-day pressure of modern life, or quite possibly the very television medium which this project is proposing to provide.

And, paradoxically, although many young people still crave adventure, very few will actually transcend that craving into the challenge of researching, planning and/or participating in a trip or adventure. To their credit, some will participate in guided adventure tours, dive trips or possibly tandem skydiving. Just as long as there is someone there to hold their hand and guide them safely along each step of the way.

But for the vast majority of today's population it's television that provides all the adventure and excitement.
