The ONE App That Could Change The World

That's the dream, anyway. ONE.org has launched a free app that enables you to mobilise in an instant to fight disease and extreme poverty, wherever you are and whenever you feel like it.

The technology isn't anything you haven't seen before, but it demonstrates the power we hold in our hands and take for granted.

In addition to enabling you to keep track of ONE campaign videos, mobilise friends, read about new projects, the app lets you sign petitions or give your local Congressman a call.

Like we said, nothing new or unusual. But that you can take such action with elegant ease -- a flicker of conviction, the swipe of a finger -- is significant. Work like this extends our power as individuals into the realm of the superhuman.

While this particular app may not change the world by itself, continued efforts like this, by ONE and others, will.
