Science, Engineering, and Innovation – The Storm is Just Over the Horizon – A Book Review

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

No, we’re not talking about hurricanes or typhoons, we are still discussing tornadoes in the Midwest – we are concerned about the future competitiveness of America is serious, and it is time that we raised at the national level. It is time that we solved the problem, without spot or slogans.

In fact, your brain actually read it again to the challenges of the future, it is a very good book that I love:
“Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited: Bringing the category 5″ was written and composed by the members of the 2005 conference of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine, National Academies Press, published in Washington, DC (2010 ), p. 104 ISBN: 0-309-16098-7. (DOI: 10.4087/FOUNDATIONREVIEW-D-10-00026). This report and the book can be downloaded online in.pdf, and I suggest you do this, and concentrated as mentioned in the introduction to the following points.

“What are the Top 10 could take in order of priority actions that federal policy, the scientific and technological companies in order to compete for the USA, thrive, and the world community of the 21st century and what strategy with a series of concrete steps that can earlier, this process must be carried out safely? Well, I let the foolishness and arrogance of these scientists and engineers, the state in this report, complete rubbish “Although only four percent of the workforce of scientists and engineers, this group represents an unreasonable application for the other 96 percent” I’m sorry, but this is totally absurd.

Without entrepreneurs, the history of this country and not to compete in future global markets. And most of the innovation comes from entrepreneurs to take the findings to fund research, pay taxes on all research projects, jobs and money to take the ball and run it to make arise. The report continued that the scientists and engineers to enable the business but do not say that without entrepreneurs, scientists are not needed.

Do now that this report is correct, we need the basic research and innovation support organizations, and we need to work on education, so we can correct the number of mathematics and science, and engineering students. It also highlights the challenges of global competition with China and the theft of intellectual property.
