As our civilization becomes more technologically advanced we will reach a point where we will definitely need more sharper and brighter minds to run all the systems, computers and equipment. No dummies allowed will be the new paradigm. In other words only the cr¨me of the crop will be able to run things. But then who does this leave for the advances in research? Well that would be the cr¨me de la cr¨me of course, but where are these new brilliant minds coming from?
We will need a better brain recruiting system to bring those most gifted minds to our nation to work in our research facilities. But if we make it difficult to get here or get a student or work Visa we may be giving away a great recruiting asset and tool and jeopardizing our selves in the future.
Many Corporations on the leading edge of innovation and research have already noticed this and made mention of it. Microsoft’s Bill Gates in fact has said if we do not streamline our work Visas and Student Visas for smart immigrants and workers that they will be forced to outsource.
Meaning all or more jobs will move offshore and probably stay there too. Additionally if the United States loses its edge then we all lose in the technological future, as we will be unable to compete in something we have led the world in for over 100 years and that would truly be a shame indeed. Consider this in 2006.
