Headlines from a CNN Article on 2/21/2006
EU to Challenge MIt with new institute
I was wondering if the new world wars are going to be centered around………….. Knowledge? Eu announced it will open a university similar to MIT. it will be the EIT, European Institute of Technology. being that they are falling behind in the sciences and technology they want to create something to counter that phenomenom.
In the same vain president bush announced his Math Initiative where he hoped to get more students to graduate with math degrees. The biggest fear is that China and India will overtake us in these areas. What is driving this phenomenon …….. one may say that being that we are coming closer to the era when knowledge will be plentiful like the water covers the earth ….. it is manifesting itself this way. where it used to be that one nation tried to outpace another nation with weapons now it is changing to ……..knowledge! ( I know the skeptic will say knowledge is the key to weapon supremacy but as we will show in another article that the concept of "beating your swords into plowshares" is at play here, and eventualy the trend will continue that civilian use of military technology will continue outpacing military use bye far)
The technology race has far outpaced the arms race…… now the impetus behind this moves is that nations feel they will lose the economic edge over other countries, namely the emerging Asian economies primarily china and India (again not focusing on war but on peace, a strong economy breeds stability and buildes wealth brings in education and oppurinty and knowladge! )
