  It can be allot, with the world as it is many (often high paying jobs) use or require access to IT in order to function (communicate). So often it can be the difference high tech jobs and low tech jobs.

  I do believe high-tech innovation will lead to jobs. I think this way because informational technology will just continue to expand. This will open up more fields for things such as science and technology, which will lead to more jobs for people.

  High-tech innovation will mot definitely lead to more jobs. From the people who will have to do the dirty work and create the power lines to create internet connection, to the people who will have to maintain the internet, it will end up creating more jobs for Americans.

  Yes i think that high-tech inovations will lead to more jobs for people. This is because as techonolgy continues to expand and better itself, it will require more people to assist it. This will make more job opportunities for people.

  I agree with James because not everyone is fortunate enough to learn about computers. I know my parents do not know about computers, so if they were told that they needed to work a computer tomorrow or you're fired, they would get fired. Also, people that are 18 in other countries might not have what I have and if they were to come to this country then they would also not be able to get computer jobs because they do not know how to work computers.

  I do believe that high tech innovation would lead to an increase of jobs. Although people seem afraid that the increase of technology would lead to machines taking the jobs of people. This is not the case. For every machine there are specialist who work them, fix them and create them. And high tech innovation does not mean that every job or career would call for people to be tech savy.

One community would succeed with this and one wouldn't because of the willingness to change their norms and add the new highly technical ways. If one community were to be against it, then its safe to assume that they would show no growth. Does having a lower education have an effect on how much one can learn in the tech world?

  I agree with Taziana, I think the generation of high school and college students have a greater advantage to learning information technology . Also, a great example of the growth of knowledge for information technology would be how my mom works for a company that goes around to pre-schools and teaches three and four year old children all the basics of using a computer.

  Yes, I would like to add my input into the points of Taz and Anthony. The "education gap" is a reality we are all faced with. The youth of the United States are growing up in an environment where it has increasingly become important for them to learn information technology whereas my elders and my own generation has not been granted the same. As stated earlier by Professor Dale Thompson, technology doubles every two years and people need to consistently educate themselves on the new technology or they will fall behind in the job competition and/or own lives. The youth of our nation are being raised with technology being a main priority. Hence, they will grow learning to understand how to use the wide range of information technology much more effeciently than the elders of the nation.
