Answers by Gordon Moore . I agree with Gordon!! djf
Q. What do you see as the most prominent threats to United States economic dominance in the future? A. I have a concern that we're not training enough of the U.S. population to maintain our technical lead. Our outstanding universities, which are the envy of the world, are training half foreign-born students who are going back to where they came from. I see our tech companies taking advantage of well-trained people in other countries. But we're in danger of exporting a lot of technological advantage because we're not training enough people here. Education, that's our Achilles' heel.
