• Of course, the whole photographic process has been made much faster, cleaner and far more accessible to people by digital innovations, which is really great.

An enormous variety of apps also enable us to take short cuts to finished images. We hardly need to even think anymore.

• Germany is a fascinating role model. The Germans have maintained their manufacturing edge despite being a high-tax, high-regulation economy. Why? Because the government really set about ensuring that it maintained funding for technical training, technical advancements and programs. It made a concerted effort to retain high-end, complex manufacturing -- the kind of BMW model, if you will. And they've done that so successfully that Germany, which has a quarter of America's population, exports more than America does.
