We must, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, think anew and act anew, recognizing that in the cyber-age, many of the attitudes we have had about warfare, about vulnerability, about opportunity have to be thought through entirely differently. If we can understand that and put aside some of our old prejudices and old ideas about technology and about regulation, we will be on the road to the prosperity and security we need. If we cling to the old ideas, the old paradigms with respect to information sharing and antitrust activities, we are in for serious trouble. So in 1 minute, that is my message. Let us think anew, let us act anew, and let us recognize the technological age has changed everything.
