In 1943 the editor of The Economist reviewed the first 100 years of weekly economic jouralism. He discovered that neither economists or media men had been able to innovate proactively at the speed of engineering, and this was one of root causes of both world wars. My dad who had spent his last days as teen navigatir allied bomber command burma was hired to go learn fron Neumann-Einstein-Turing. They expected their legacy to be 10*18 more tech by 2025- visioning likely exponemtial tech multipliers and their access by all peoples became as valuable a pursuit as any economist, mediatirs, engineers would ever contribute and ultimately one chaning communities cotre needs energy, education, health.
The first 3 national leaders to fully understand this were kennedy and the royal families of UK and Japan. It was conveneient this had happened by early 1960s as hist9orically it was UK and Japan whose empoire policies had traped most of asia in Empiures value chains.
If you are intereetd in magical human development leaps you would look at these triads of places and these3 million fold tech waves - chips, satellites, computers.All were in play by 1965 though it was primarily moores law chip design that accelerated chnage first - most of its million fold energised humans by 1995. Then came mobilising data clouds on saetlloites and redesigning computers to 1 machine learn from deep data and in most ways chnage from linear central processing.
1965-1980 saw the first 1000 fold of n=moores law - engineered out of silicon valley but with japan korea taiwan as main advanced manufacturing clients. Japan originated most initial elemnets of asia rising : deming instructed japan engineers on iterav=tive quality needed so societies/consumers benefit from doubling of potential benefits every 18 months. This led to sme supply chian mode as well as extrorsinary transportation models of supercity ports- undergrounds, containerisation, as well as japans bullet trians. All of japan, korea, taiwan have deep rural consciousness - so borlaug;s epoential improvements in rice an dother crop sciences were vital too

IF pacific trade 1950-1980 was stories of win-iwns between 2 coastal belth - usa west and japan south far east, China's development between 1975-2005 remains the greatestb human develoment miracle to learn from. It has odd and probably non repeatable foci. For example china's one child meanth that by late 1980s half of all families were dependent on 20 something women. When beijing hosted 1995 famous conference on the future of women, this cultural dynamic was not fully understood by the west. Nor was what caused the increase in life expectancy in tropical lanlocked places from low40s to 60s. Bangladesh and china advanced capacity of vialge mother to delivel oral trhydration, to requite nationwide vaccination, to wholesale and by foor dootrdash basic medicines.
Yet taiwan remaisn the stiry that most amazes me. As Japan fell victim yo houding bubbles taiwan bet nation on always being ahead on chip foundries and smart manufacturing. In the 1990s 3 taiwan american families at staford (Huangs Yangs Tsais)helped more through moores law to the other two million fold multipliers - computer design, satellite 1g to 6g needed for mobilising deep data clouds. Primarily we can say the Yangs and Tsais kept youthful brain power connecting between asia and west coast iusa. It was particular;ly hunag who designed million fold acceleration of computers deep computing and started chnaging what was coded from binary numbers to pixels for games radiologyb ai (more pattern dta deepmind) to start resolving bioytech and other chalenges of einstein's 1905 publication e=mcsquared; at same time 2009 that hassabis was explaining hius ideas on a gatsby neuroiscience scholarship to the valley stanfird headhuted women engineer fei-fei li who advocated fir training machines in all 5 human sensens. If that could be done all conding could be democratised with ai directly accepting taks the same way humans descrobe tasks to each oher.

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) focuses on policies that drive innovation and the adoption of IT across various industries
. In the realm of immersive technologies, ITIF is involved with discussions and initiatives related to augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and digital twins. Here's a look at ITIF's activities and perspectives on these technologies in 2025:
- : ITIF co-hosted the fifth annual AR/VR Policy Conference with the XR Association in Washington, DC, on September 9, 2025. The conference explored how policymakers should respond to the transformations brought about by immersive technologies, covering critical policy questions like privacy, safety, global competitiveness, and the use of AR/VR in sectors like education and healthcare.AR/VR Policy Conference
- Healthcare Applications: ITIF highlights the potential of AR/VR and digital twins in healthcare, emphasizing how these technologies can improve patient care and potentially lead to long-term cost savings. According to ITIF, digital twins, which combine internet-connected devices, XR technology, cloud computing, and AI, are seen as especially beneficial for creating personalized treatment plans and enabling real-time patient monitoring.
- Digital Twins in Government: ITIF, through organizations like the Digital Trade and Data Governance Hub at The George Washington University, is involved in discussions and initiatives regarding digital twins in government and policy. The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office, with input from the public, is developing a National Digital Twins R&D Strategic Plan for release in mid to late 2025. This plan aims to guide government investments and advance the use of digital twin models to address national priorities, notes the Federal Register.
- Economic Impact: ITIF studies how immersive technologies like AR/VR can transform work, education, and learning, and how policies can foster innovation and adoption.
In summary: ITIF is actively involved in promoting discussions and advocating for policies that support the responsible development and adoption of AR/VR and digital twins in 2025. They emphasize the potential benefits of these technologies across various sectors, including healthcare and government, while also addressing policy concerns related to privacy, safety, and global competitiveness.
