Ultimately, building software is the world's most important industry. Software today allows a brother in San Jose to call a sister in St. Petersburg. Software today speeds the process of drug discovery, potentially curing Alzheimer's. Software today drives the imaging systems that allow the early detection of breast cancer and other maladies. Software controls the passive restraint systems and antilock braking systems that save children's lives in automobiles every day. Software powers our communication and transportation technologies. Software allows us to peer deep within ourselves and study the human genome. Software allows us to explore and understand our universe. And, make no mistake about it, we are just getting started.
