Innovations in science and technology are the engines of the 21st-century economy; if you care about the wealth and health of your nation tomorrow, then you'd better rethink how you allocate taxes to fund science. The federal budget needs to recognize this.

The innovation is going to come, and that is good for everybody.

Innovation is what we're going to need for the future, and that's always been a part of the technology industry.

I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.

Public enthusiasm for new advances is a key ingredient in influencing policy-makers to stimulate follow-up work with suitable funding, and it can be achieved far faster now that interested non-specialists can explore new research autonomously and can also be appealed to directly by scientists.

The spending in science and technology need to be to increased.

Technology is moving quickly. Policy is not moving as quickly.

Advances in technology will continue to reach far into every sector of our economy. Future job and economic growth in industry, defense, transportation, agriculture, health care, and life sciences is directly related to scientific advancement.

We need the next generation to be motivated and to push technological boundaries, to seek out new innovations.

Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.
