Today, I ask you to focus on the challenges of the Information Age. The dimensions of the Information Revolution and its limitless possibilities are widely accepted and generally understood, even by lay people. But to make the most of it, we must acknowledge that there are challenges, and we must make important choices. We can extend opportunity to all Americans or leave many behind. We can accelerate the most powerful engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known, or allow the engine to stall.
