 One of the major changes that I've seen in recent years has been brought about by technology, and it's been called The Death of Distance, where distance doesn't matter anymore. Customers and suppliers and even surgeons and their patients could be in different parts of the world. As a result of that, the world has become much more competitive. There are people all around the world. A mouse click away, as the saying goes, for candidates for jobs that you and I have held or would want to hold, whereas in the past, we competed with our neighbors for a job. We now compete with people all the way around the world. And the U.S. is a rather serious disadvantage in the other developed countries. For example, one can hire 20 assembly workers in Vietnam. I was recently in a plant in Vietnam for the cost of one in America. You can hire eight engineers in India or five chemists in China each for the cost of one in America. And so if America is going to compete for jobs, and that's what I mean by competitiveness, can we compete for jobs? We're going to have to find a way to overcome this disadvantage we have in terms of the financial rewards that we've come to expect in this country. And there is probably only one way we're going to do that, and that's by being more innovative and quicker to innovate, which to me means investing in basic research. It means investing in quality engineers that can take that basic research, perform by scientists and translate it into products and services. It means they have entrepreneurs and their supporters who can take those products and services and put them into the marketplace. That I think is going to be the big competitive challenge. It's a knowledge economy, knowledge counts. That's going to be the way we'll get jobs in this new economy.
