  1. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS C.V. RAMAMOORTHY PROFESSOR EMERITUS ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

  2. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • TOPICS • MY INTERPRETATION. • CULTIVATION IMPLIES GROWTH, COMPONENTS OF A SIMPLIFIED GROWTH MODEL • FLAT WORLD—INTELLECTUAL FLATNESS IS THE PREREQUISITE TO ECONOMIC FLATNESS AND OVERALL GLOBAL PROSPERITY IS NECESSARY FOR OUR SURVIVABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

  3. TCS CEO – DR. RAMADORAI • Today it is the minds, not the megahertz or the gigabytes that are scarce. • Use I.T. to enhance them and use them to deliver sustainable and survivable products to support our developing world

  4. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION • WIDENING CHASM/GAP BETWEEN THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND THE SNAIL- PACED INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR TECHNICAL EDUCATION. • STATUS OF TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION, ITS GREATEST SHORTCOMINGS IN U.S. AND WHY WE MAY LOSING INTELLECTUAL COMPETITIVENESS • DEMOGRAPHICS • SKILLS, CLASSIFICATION AND CHARACTERISTICS

  5. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR OUR DEPRECIATING LEARNING AND CREATIVE SKILLS– AN OVERVIEW OF PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES. • TRENDS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURES LAW OF THE CONSERVATION OF HUMAN PHYSICAL ENERGY LAW OF I.T HUMAN SENSES LAW OF CONVERGENCE OF I.T SERVICES. THE CONCEPT OF AN I.T. PRODUCT AS A PLATFORM OF SERVICES.

  6. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • SOME OBSERVATIONS • KNOWLEDGE GROWTH –DOUBLES EVERY THREE YRS ==DEPT OF EDUCATION AND HARVARD STUDIES • TECHNOLOGY GROWTH – PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES= MOORE’S LAW, DOUBLES EVERY 18 MONTHS—APPLICABLE TO SEMICONDUCTOR AND FIBEROPTIC TECHNOLOGIES.

  7. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • TOOL DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT SPECILIAZED DESIGN FOR AND MANUFACTURE—SCALING (ANDREW GROVE) – • EDUCATION---PARTICULARLY OF OUR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ---CREEPS ACCORDING TO THE “INVERSE MOORE’S LAW”=FASTER THAN A SNAIL BUT SLOWER THAN A TURTLE. • NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE JULY 18, 2010 --- ‘AMERICAN CREATIVITY IS DECLINING’ IT NEEDS AN UNUSUAL ‘VISUAL PERSPECTIVE’ AND AN ABILITY TO SYNTHESIZE DIVERSE ELEMENTS WITH MEANINGFUL PRODUCTS.

  8. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • PIONEERS • NORMAN BORLAUG—AGRICULTURAL CULTIVATION • JAIME ESCALANTE—EDUCATIONAL MENTORSHIP • THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO DISCOVER YOUR GIFT—TALENT • THE MEANING OF LIFE IS GIVING YOUR GIFT AWAY—SHARING IT

  9. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • U.S. INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY • SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION SUPERIORITY • ECONOMIC, MILITARY AND POLITICAL SUPERIORITY • CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IS FUNNELED BY EDUCATION • U.S. EXPORTED IDEAS AND PRODUCTS WERE MADE OFF SHORE—LOSS IN U.S. EMPLOYMENT

  10. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • GROWTH REQUIRES CULTIVATION OF INTELLECTUAL/MANUAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT OUR SURVIVABILITY AND SUSTAINABULITY • GROWTH FACTORS • PHYSICAL, NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCS • HUMAN BASED MANUAL RESOURCES • INTELECTUAL, MENTAL RESOURCES

  11. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • LAWS INVOLVING GROWTH FACTORS • RATES OF GROWTH • KNOWLEDGE • TECHNOLOGY • EDUCATION GAP BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES AND EDUCATION

  12. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • U.S. TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROBLEMS • A ‘NEEDS ENGINEERING’ PERSPECTIVE—NO EMPHASIS ON PROBLEM (NEEDS) DISCOVERY AND FORMULATION—EMPHASIS ON SOLUTION OF STURCTURED PROBLEMS FITTING A THEORETICAL SETTING. • SILO EFFECT –TOO DEEP SPECIALIZATION • GROVE’S SCALING EFFECT

  13. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • DEMOGRAPHIC ISSUES • DIGITAL NATIVES—Y GENERATION • MULTI-TASKING • SHORT ATTENTION SPAN • EXPECT RAPID RESPONSES AND REWARDS • LIKE FAST VIDEO GAMES

  14. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STATISTICS • ALSO ARTICLE BY RUPERT MURDOCH • 53 MILLION STUDENTS ENTERING UNIVERSITIES THIS YEAR • 22-40% DROP OUT ON THE AVERAGE IN RECENT YEARS

  15. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • IMPROVING THE TECHNICAL EDUCATION—VERY BADELY NEEDED • SKILLS NEEDED • LEARNING SKILLS • MEMORY SKILLS • USING TECHNOLOGY FOT EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT AND FOSTERING CREATIVITY

  16. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • VIDEO GAMING VIA VIRTUAL 3-D HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY AND ANIMATION • ON-LINE SELF LEARNING • SUZUKI MUSIC EDUCATION TO ROUSE CURIOSITY AND INCREASE CONCENTRATION • MONTESSORI METHOD OF TEACHING—TALENT DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENCE BUILDING IN THE STUDENT

  17. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • INFRASTRUCTURES TO THE I.T WORLD—VIA $100 LAP TOP– NEGROPONTE M I T—ONE LAP TOP PER CHILD—PROBLEM: WE NEED PROPER TUTORING AND EDUCATION TO THE CHILD WHEN USING THE COMPUTER.

  18. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • DEMOGRAPHICS---SENIORS • DR DOWLING HARVARD MED SCHOOL • VIDEO GAMING, VIRTUAL 3 D HOLOGRAPHIC SCENERIO DEVELOPMENT • EXAMPLES-- TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINERS FOR AIRLINE PILOTS • NEEDED ---NEW RESEARCH IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND GRAPHICS EMPHSIZING ANIMATION AND 3-D OBJECTS

  19. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • MEMORY SKILLS • SHORT TERM MEMORY DEPRECIATES WITH AGE • SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SENIORS • SUGGESTIONS • BLACK-BOX PRINCIPLE—LIKE AIRLINE BLACK BOXES • WEARABLE COMPUTERS WITH NANO CAMCODERS • USE GOOGLE’S PAGE RANK METHOD TO FIND WHERE YOU LEFT YOUR KEYS OR PARKED YOUR CAR

  20. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • LONG TERM MEMORY ISSUES • CONCEPT OF THE LIFE BOOK—ALL IMPORTANT AND EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION IS STORED IN THE WEB AND CAN BE RECALLED AND RETRIEVED ANY TIME ANY WHERE. THE INDIVIDUAL PUTS AWAY INFORMATION THAT HE DOES NOT NEED FREQUENTLY IN THE LIFE BOOK FOR LATER RECALL THROUGH-OUT HIS LIFE. HIS MIND IS FREED FROM REMEMBERING TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

  21. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • PATTERN RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY—DOTS AND LINKS, PATTERNS. ABSTRACTION BY PATTERNS—PATTERNS ARE BIG—TOO BIG TO FORGET AND EASY TO RECALL AND SEARCH • CREATIVITY PROMPTERS—SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS---ISAAC ASIMOV

  22. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • SOME OBSERVATIONS • LAW OF I.T. SERVICE CONVERGENCE • I.T. PRODUCT IS A PLATFORM FOR SERVICES, EXAMPLES, i PHONE, I PAD, ETC. • LAW OF HUMAN I.T. SENSES—THESE ARE VISION, HEARING, TOUCH –VISION HAS THE HIGHEST BANDWIDTH—BETTER FOR COMMUNICATING WITH THE BRAIN—BETTER FILTERS, PARALLES OPERATIONS, FAST ACCESS.

  23. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • CLOSER OUR I.T. PRODUCT IS TO OUR VISION, THE BETTER IT IS IN COMMUNICATING WITH OUR BRAIN. • TREND--ALL I.T. SERVICES ARE LOCATED ON ONE PRODUCT. THE SERVICE ICONS SHOULD INCLUDE SUPPORT FOR USER’S CONVINIENCES, PREFERENCES, DISABILITIES, SERVICE MINTENANCE.

  24. CULTIVATION OF GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS • I.T. – INFRASTRUCTURES • $100 LAP TOP, ONE LAP TOP PER CHILD—NICK NEGROPONTE –MIT • PROBLEMS AND STATUS.
