“To succeed, the United States must do two things: (1) discover new scientific knowledge and technological potential though research and (2) drive high-end, sophisticated technology faster and better than anyone else.
Manufacturing may start in the United States, then move to Taiwan, then to Korea, and then to China or India. These megashifts will occur faster and faster and will pose enormous challenges to our nation.”
Charles M. Vest (1941-2013), President Emeritus, MIT; Past President, National Academy of EngineeringDr. Vest's comments delivered in 2005 are even more relevant today.
