TCS: Tech Central Station - Where Free Markets Meet Technology

"... new knowledge helped create modern material culture and the prosperity it has brought about. What kind of knowledge do I have in mind? My interest in what follows is confined to the type of knowledge I will dub useful knowledge. The term "useful knowledge" was used by Simon Kuznets as the source of modern economic growth... I am motivated by the centrality of technology. Because technology in its widest sense is the manipulation of nature for material gain."

- Joel Mokyr, "The Gifts of Athena"

Welcome to Tech Central Station.

The explosion of dazzling technological advances over the last two centuries has brought with it a host of thorny political and public policy questions. The collision of technology and public policy has enormous implications for our lives and our future.

Tech Central Station is here to help provide the right answers to many of those questions with the news, analysis, research, and commentary you need to understand how technology is changing and shaping our world, and how you can make sense of it all.

We believe the opportunities free markets and technology present are nearly limitless. But amidst those opportunities are concerns about a variety of issues: the hi-tech military and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; biotech and pharmaceutical development and intellectual property; sound environmental and biological science; telecommunications and broadband technology penetration; energy development and global sustainable development; government regulation; and trade, to name a few.

Tech Central Station will be ahead of the curve in anticipating what comes next and guiding you through this technological era.

Tech Central Station is supported by sponsoring corporations that share our faith in technology and its ability to improve modern life. Smart application of technology - combined with pro free market, science-based public policy - has the ability to help us solve many of the world's problems, and so we are grateful to AT&T;, ExxonMobil, General Motors Corporation, Intel, McDonalds, Microsoft, Nasdaq, National Semiconductor, PhRMA, and Qualcomm for their support. All of these corporations are industry leaders that have made great strides in using technology for our betterment, and we are proud to have them as sponsors. However, the opinions expressed on these pages are solely those of the writers and not necessarily of any corporation or other organization.
