Quote of the day: "Knowledge in a knowledge economy is progress"

Kipal Sibal, the Honerable Minister for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, Government of India addressing the Map World Forum in Hyderabad said, “We live in a globalized world and it’s only befitting that in the years to come, the globalization processes affect data as well; a globalized world must have globalized data; And from globalized world we will have globalized products...GIS is not just a technology tool; it’s all about public good; All technology is essentially a tool to serve the public…Ultimately data is a source of information; and information in a globalized world is knowledge. And knowledge in a knowledge economy is progress."

And knowledge in a knowledge economy is also power. India will surpass most if not all countries, in both population, and technology, in the next twenty years.
