How can I help transform our education system to integrate more of this inventor type of thinking? What economic development activities can I help foster to prepare our community for these transformational changes?  What access points do I have from outside our community that can help transform our community into incorporating leading edge technologies? What capacities do we have locally, e.g.,  inexpensive electical, broadband, water, etc. resources that would support these technological trends forecasted by Ray Kurzweil?
