| − | [[User:john.naegle|John Naegle]] I had two questions for come to mind during the lecture.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The first is if technology transfer is primarly about people, what does that say for educating foreign students with public money in the United States? It seems to make a pretty strong case for not educating foreign students and may be realted to [[Outsourcing and its impact on innovation?]]. On the other hand, it is important to bring external ideas into our schools and our country and to be diverse and one way to do that is by educating foreign students. Certainly technology transfer (training people) is not a one way street. I would be partiuclarly interested in finding out hard numbers on how many foreign students are educated in the US in engineering, sciences and business and what percentage of those stay in the US verses return to their country of orgin to work for another country. Most of the foreign born students that I have known have remained in the United States after completing their education.

| − | The second question is what are other countries spending on long term research in IT? We've seen that the United States' spending on long term IT research has waned and what some of the impacts of that might be. Are other countries investing in research along the lines of the Bell Labs, Xerox Park and other major research institutions? What are the trends in global IT research.
