In a recent washingtonpost.com article named
"Erasing our innovation deficit" ( http://bit.ly/cG6vGW )
Eric Schmidt said

"We have been world leaders in [technological]
innovation for generations. It has driven our
economy, employment growth and our rising prosperity.
[..] We can no longer rely on the top-down approach of
the 20th century, when big investments in the military
and NASA spun off to the wider economy."

Do you agree? What kind of approach does the
USA need to return to old strength?
