The more people we can attract to science and technology - men, women, everybody - the more economic opportunity we have as a nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I went into the sciences very early on, but to me, economics pervades so much more of our lives and our existence.
The more technology we introduce into society, the more people will aggregate, will want to be with other people: movies, rock concerts, shopping.
In the category of economic superpowers, more is better than less - the more technology those leaders develop, the more we all benefit.
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, investments in science and technology have proved to be reliable engines of economic growth. If homegrown interest in those fields is not regenerated soon, the comfortable lifestyle to which Americans have become accustomed will draw to a rapid close.
Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.
The spending in science and technology need to be to increased.
Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known.
The more we can do to create a better society, that benefits more people, the better chance we have that our society will continue to grow and prosper.
I guess economists, it's a bit like scientists; you have definitely fewer women in that field.
Somehow we must reintegrate the scientific with the popular and reconnect the future to the present. This is less a job for scientists, engineers, bureaucrats, and administrators and more a job for novelists, moviemakers, popularizers, and politicians.
