Decoding the future

The Stream (Al Jazeera)

Is America losing its competitive edge? As China and India prepare for a 21st century powered by technology, America is falling behind in math and science. But a push is underway to attract more young people to computing and engineering.  While the field today is dominated by white males, some say the solution is attracting women and minorities. What will it take to keep America competitive?
