The Conference Board, which is based in Ottawa, expects that auto industry profits in Canada would rise sharply because of declining costs for labor and materials.
Nowadays sensors and actuators are going the semiconductor route, meaning that they can ride Gordon Moore's curve of declining costs out to mass markets and novel applications.
The new security-industrial complex will grow, because we need it and because this economic juggernaut will take us down the now familiar tech curve of declining costs.
