Recognise this world?

If you ever visit Manhattan and the UN Building, there is a tour guide there who will take you through a series of slides showing the day in the life of an "average" person.  
 
It's guaranteed to make you stop and think, and be grateful.
 
(btw Rotary was instrumental in setting up the UN way back when).
 
A certain scribe received some slides over the Christmas period from a regular contributor, on a similar vein...
