TECHNOLOGY, THE ENERGY CRISIS AND OUR STANDARD OF LIVING

Here's a picture of the dynamic position of research and technology in the complex ebb and flow of U.S. economic health which supports our standard of living. But the current decline in technology investments is creating many of the problems we face today. Examples: technological unemployment, the energy crisis, our dwindling fuel supplies, and the like. Hence, an increasing R&D program is vital, not only to increase our standard of living but even to maintain it. Development of new products and processes--the "continuity of discovery"--is a must for U.S. economic health.
