It's a physical thing that can grab a hold of data and literally rearrange our lives by changing the direction you take your car in. This continuum is going to keep building on itself as we move forward into the future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reality about transportation is that it's future-oriented. If we're planning for what we have, we're behind the curve.
We are living in one of those rare moments in history when things may come apart and be put back together again in ways that will determine the future for decades or more, despite the endless innovations of technology.
We know that, when it comes to technology and the economy, if you're not constantly moving forward, then - without a doubt - you're moving backwards.
Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives.
You could go crazy thinking of how unprivate our lives really are - the omnipresent security cameras, the tracking data on our very smart phones, the porous state of our Internet selves, the trail of electronic crumbs we leave every day.
Evolving technologies that allow economists to gather new types of data and to manipulate millions of data points are just one factor among several that are likely to transform the field in coming years.
As technology continues to increase our possibilities, what we're seeing is a shrinking of the lag time between what we dream about and what we create.
The longer we keep looking back in the rearview mirror, it takes away from everything that's moving forward.
We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror.
Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window.
