This is an interesting phase in the story of technology and our nation. The stakes are high, absolutely. We have the country in a recession, everyone tightening their belts, and despite the current price of fuel, energy is still a huge concern. I'm all for the serious domestic spending proposals, I think much good will come of them. I think however that the next technology boom will arrive in the form of entertainment, maybe something phone-based like the iphone, or games, or some other media. In the enterprise, companies that embrace technology now will be a step ahead and that's where the movement and Silicon Valley will need to continue to press. There are definitely opportunities on the table. Facebook, Twitter, great examples. The question is who will drive these opportunities and put in the research, the time, the passion, the financial backing, The next Google is out there.
