The Significance of Emerging Technologies

Abstract

I first came to this region of Germany as a young metallurgist to learn something about the nature of iron and steel technology. I came several times later but recently as a member of our government to discuss and understand the nature of the technological gap. I return, I believe, under much more favorable circumstances and, as we would say in our country, I come from our second front, i. e., from American universities. A sort of battle is being waged at universities the world over, a battle involving guerrilla tactics, confrontation and disruption.
