The Hindu Business Line : Tech breakthroughs will come from Asia

Mr Bill Gates' prophetic views in his speech at a regional economic forum in Southern China are borne out by the fact that most IT research — in software, hardware, pharma, shipping, etc — are located in BPOs, KPOs or National Research Centres in China, India, Korea, Thailand, or Japan.

Techies at these research centres are hardworking and dedicated, and pursue their vocation with zest, as most of them feel their family's future rests on their achievements. The availability of qualified manpower that can be tempered into "research mode" with a little training is a great asset.

Neo-economic and environmental factors in those countries push the youth to become achievers in their chosen walks of life.
