That it becomes more and more clear to me and erik that the future is coming at us more than the experts are predicting. That means the economic consequences are coming more quickly than a lot of us are expecting and makes the discussions for today all the more important. Thanks very much. [ applause ] thank you all for joining us this morning. My name is melissa carney. I have the privilege of moderating our First Panel Discussion this morning. This panel is going to take the premise that andy and erik laid out for us, that there has been rapid technological advance particularly in the information center.

I have been the first seven years. Maybe you guys will have to do the heavy lifting on your own later. This is particularly special to me because so many people in this room have been a part of the process of my writing the book. I mean, everybody.
