(750 posts)The college or university system has always been the front of new technology. The real reason is because of the common tax money allocated for research and development via the military industrial complex. Even technology schools that specialize in just electronics.
Face it, the moment in reality that tax money is placed at the disposal of the higher income brackets for decades. Your tax money is not trickled down but shoved into special programs that are enlisting special interest people that eventually make profits for them. Face it the Congress and Senate or other connected have siblings with this tax supported enterprise.
With that said it has caught up in the mainstream that something is unfair in this system. Especially all kinds of programs that give special interest copy rights or patents that you and me pay tax on that give very little to no return to the citizen that supply that profiteering. Right now my own research is in the new technology called nano carbon technology. New computers may very well have transistors that are fabricated with this new technology. Imagine the basic silicon transistor taking a backseat to the news stuff.
From my view, especially my own talent, see the time when the k12 system can actually produce a doctorial type, a young person from the new educational process that is transforming in America. That is a profound statement because that whole idea jumps through the ordinary university system. Better yet the common university system we know today is actually part of the economic engine of the future. The brick and mortar college university system will be the economic engine, the intellectual factory of the future like no other time in humanity. Research and development will be the edge to develop and ascend the human mind and its spirit.
