“We are at a historical choice point – a defining moment - in determining the kind of world our children's children will inherit. It should be environmentally sustainable, economically equitable and socially responsible. ” “The world is now our manageable landscape. Connections are made East-to-West, North-to-South with many nodes in between. But The Innovation Super. Highway is not only a physical infrastructure, albeit technical and electronic.
