Description
This study describes the worldwide race in information technology from an American perspective. At stake is American dominance in computer science and microelectronics, the control of international marketplaces and even national security. The players and the technologies are described and an understandable exposition is given, as well as a current report of the status and forecasts for the future. A series of recommendations is given to help the USA retain and improve its precarious dominance in the technologies of the information age.
