Another way technology has changed us
involves how it affects our courage. For example, I used to get
worried when I had to travel frequently outside my home state. I
often had to travel to places I'd never been, and with just a paper
map and some instructions scribbled or printed on paper, I'd set out
to places far from "civilization," meaning areas where I
didn't see street lights, gas stations, or any population at all.
Instead, there were endless expanses of open land, long, empty roads,
and not a single car passing me for miles. Honestly, sometimes I was
a little worried: what if my car breaks down or I run out of gas? Yet
these days, if we have our smart phone with us and a good GPS app,
we're quite willing to just drive off somewhere and go exploring.
Help is only a phone call away, and we can always tell our GPS to
take us home when we admit we've gotten a little lost! Also, we're
letting our children go places alone a lot more freely, because it's
easier to contact them with smartphones. For the really paranoid
parents (or those of conniving teens!) there's always a smartphone
GPS tracker to keep an eye on your kid's location at all times!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
