We think a more open and connected world will help create a stronger economy with more authentic businesses that build better products and services.”

If you’re James Cameron and you’re doing a movie like Avatar, the issue is, “What kind of world am I trying to create?”
Then the question is, “So how do I get the technology to do that?”
The leading question is not, “Gee, how do I make a cheaper movie faster?”
