While the wandering lifestyle practised by the Buddha and his disciples continues to be the ideal model for forest tradition monks in Thailand and elsewhere, practical concerns-including shrinking wilderness areas, lack of access to lay supporters, dangerous wildlife, and dangerous border conflicts-dictate that more and more ' meditation ' monks live in monasteries, rather than wandering.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.

Yet even in the more extreme of such cases we seldom go very far astray in guessing what his age actually is.

Only a very few of the more advanced ones, such as India and Pakistan, have developed systematic techniques of programing.

In the more primitive areas, where the capacity to absorb and utilize external assistance is limited, some activities may be of such obvious priority that we may decide to support them before a well worked out program is available.
