Currenteakthroughs are in the private sector, nonprofit sector, and in government. They are going to continue and accelerate. Just as the Founding Fathers had to think through the relationship between organized citizens, so we have to think through the relationship between organized public effort and the technologies which are revolutionizing our lives.
