Digital technology has opened new horizons for the human art of thinking and creating knowledge. However, there are risks for humanity in terms of access and human development. Universal sharing and access of knowledge is facilitated by the use of digital technology.

I suppose I should actually say it's an honour and a pleasure, but I know the pleasure won’t kick in until this speech part is over.
