To Renew America: on Technology


Develop US lead in all information-age industries

We must aggressively explore the potential for massive job creation through Third Wave Information Age technologies. The American motion picture industry, with its use of new technologies and entrepreneurial creativity, is unsurpassed as a world competitor. In some countries 80% of all motion picture dollars go to American products. In computer software we have a similarly huge lead over our competitors. In computer chips we have regained the lead from Japan and seem to be pulling ahead. If we develop the same relative lead in biotechnology and health care we will see a massive influx of foreign exchange earnings.
