[quote=sjglaze3]Umm, what about MRI, PET and CT scanners? Huge changes in the last 10 years.[/quote]
Yes, some changes that make them faster and show more detail, but these technologies existed long before this past decade.
Again, incremental changes to technologies that have been around for a fairly long time are good, but they are not the kind of changes that can fuel the growth necessary to solve our economic problems.
We need altogether NEW innovations and technologies that will greatly improve the well-being of people and society, IMO. And, more than anything, we need to create and BUILD these things here in order for it to do any good.
