Comment: Hopefully it is a very dynamic sector, but can we find stats,  data  
supporting this claim?,i.e, the % of GDP attributed to it, value  added by 
the sector, the % of the labor force employed by the tech sector, the %  of 
internal sales, the number of patents attributed to locals, etc? Until we can  get 
a hold of these data, the claims would remain impressionistic,a la Thomas  
Friedman.
