Re: FIRST becoming more critical in the future?

It is obvious that the US has been falling behind in the technological race. FIRST, among other scholastic initiatives, highlights the interest that our government has in being dominant. China's adoption of a new Internet protocol fits into the picture painted by the previous posts; I doubt that it poses an immediate threat. However, I do agree that the US needs to catch up in order to maintain economic leverage, foreign interest, and ultimately quality of life.
