CONFLICT AND COOPERATION IN NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR HIGH-TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
- Share to:
As the next millennium approaches, we are crossing the threshold into a new era of rapid technological change. Whatever prior experience in hu- man history one chooses to look at—the introduction of widespread use of the horse, iron, steam generation in the industrial revolution, or the internal combustion engine—there has been no period like the present. Biotechnol- ogy is yielding genetically altered foods, medicines, and animals. Micro- electronics has placed watches on our wrists that contain hundred-year cal- endars and cost less than the price of a hamburger; noninvasive surgery by laser takes place in minutes; phenomenal computing power has been placed in the hands of schoolchildren. Computers and fax machines enable homes to be offices. The communication of information is increasingly possible from any one human to any other, wherever located, with unparalleled ease. The diffusion of many types of information can be, and often will be, instantaneous.
