I think we need something analogous to the “Manhattan Project” but devoted to increasing our production of high-tech graduates from our schools and colleges; if not this, then something analogous to the push we had for science and math education in the U.S. after the Soviets launched “Sputnik” and gave our society a “wake-up call”.. It does not appear that our standard practices are going to make up for our reduced productivity.
