Access to quality health care can also prevent mortality and morbidity, prevent infectious diseases, lowers the death rate from preventable illnesses, decreases death rates and lowers birthrates through access to contraception (Diamandis & Kotler, 2012). Freedom also improves quality of life and increases survival and can lead to more innovation, and energy can improve access to technology, improve quality of life, improves access to clean water, alleviate famine and hunger, and improve our environment (Diamandis & Kotler, 2012). All of these drivers are interrelated and cohesively, they can solve many of the global issues we currently face including clean water accessibility, poverty, food production and hunger, disease burden, illiteracy, overpopulation and improve technology and energy innovation (Diamandis & Kotler, 2012). These force multipliers and drivers combined also increase short and long term living standards, provides employment opportunities, increases communication and information exchange; improving the global economy,
