Some interesting - and sobering - implications regarding the New World Order…

A taste of what’s in there:

Nintendo invested more than $140 million in research and development in 2002.

The U.S. federal government spent less than half as much on research and innovation in education.

Loading Flash movie.

I learned a new number in there - “1.5 exabytes” (1.5 × 1018) - the amount of unique new information that will be created this year.

[Hmmm - how was that estimated, I wonder?]
