All they will call you Woody Guthries lyrics. When the craney when the plane crashed in 1940 eight, Woody Guthrie was in new york at the time, and one of the great folk rebellious icons that he is, he heard the news reports and he really was upset at the omission of these names. He had traveled to the San Joaquin Valley in the 1930s and 40s and was familiar with the plight of migrant farm. He was upset by the omission of the names. He said that is no way to treat our brothers and sisters and he wrote a poem about it. And in this poem, he attempts to restore the dignity of those anonymous passengers by giving them fake names. Assigning them names. And he said, goodbye juan, wonte rosalita you have a name when you write that big airplane. All they will call you will be deportation all they will call you will be deportee. And that really caught my attention. ,s that all they will call us because i, matt because i come from a family of farmworkers. Who is they, and who is all, and what do
Good morning. Thank you for being here. First, i want to thank our last panel and the Mccourt School of Public Policy for cohosting our discussion on bill clintons vision of america. We are looking forward to continuing the conversation as we go a little more global. I am the executive director of the institute of politics and Public Service here at the Mccourt School. We could not be more proud to be hosting this symposium. Before we begin the next conversation, much has been said about our former president and his decision to come to georgetown, to enter the school of Foreign Service, the only school he applied to as a high school student, in part because he wanted to expand his horizons and get a more global view. Some other schools would allow him to. So, as we have a conversation about his global vision, we thought it would be fun for a few minutes to reflect on bill clinton and his time at georgetown. Enjoy this walk down memory lane. We will continue the conversation afterward.
Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you all for coming. My name is david murphy. I am the founder and ceo of techfire.

To everywhere in between. We are so honored to have all of you. We have people who up flown in to attend. Were at the moment now, this moment is equivalent to the horse and buggy and automobile. This is a true revolution and it is going to be coming sooner than any of us realize. Things are going to be changing for the better in ways that affect us and in ways we have not even started to think about. We wanted to bring people together to not only think about the benefits of self driving cars, but also the implications of how we need to think about redoing the urban landscape. Rethinking about the Economic Needs of workers who will be displaced and all of the benefits and problems that

Right. Thank you, gentlemen, a great challenge to be faced as governor is trying to anticipate the actions or consequences that our actions are going to have down the road on future generations. This next panel is going to give us some insights on what that future might look like. Theyre going to start by looking backward over the past 25 years to let us kind of get a capsule sized look of how the country has changed. Certainly, i think most of you, if you talked back and told me in 1992 what we have now, i wouldnt have believed it. The explosion of internet, the unbelievable changes in telecommunications, demographic changes, the social changes, just how we do everything. This is such a different world than we had 25 years ago and i think, if you believe any of these, whether its moores law or any of these compounding acceleration laws, the next 25 years, the rate of change is going to be even more rapid, hopefully that rate of change will be for the better. Our panel is going to offe
