Apprehension
“…people today are raising all kinds of alarms about
technology…’It's been going on as long as
innovation has been going on,’ says Clinton Andrews, past president of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Society on Social Implications of Technology.”

Asia's college-age cohort is far larger than those of the
EU and the United States. To illustrate: the combined total of
only three Asian countries—China, India, and Japan—is projected to
be five times as large as the combined EU and U.S. total
from 2000 to 2020
Competition

workforce.
