Notes from Dr. Mark Milliron's Presentation  

• Asia: will have more highly educated people in the next few years than the entire workforce of the US or 5 times the population of Canada. Much of our work could be outsourced.
  
• Automation: Anything that can be reduced to steps to complete can be automated.
• Abundance: Through the Internet the world knows about and seeks a share in North American Abundance.
