As computing technologies continue to rapidly advance since the last two decades, the knowledge economy has become an important part of the overall world economy. In addition to its significantly contribution to economy growth, computing technologies also have profound impact on many aspects of society. A panel discussion was held at the 21st ISCA International Conference on Computer Applications on Industry and Engineering (CAINE 2008) in Honolulu, November 12-14, 2008, where the panelists and the audience exchanged views and ideas on this important issue. This position paper summarizes the panel discussion.
