Re: High-Tech, Please Define

BL,

I appreciate you getting back to me. I'm sorry if I came across to
strong My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek while I was typing.

Your answer was a little less than I expected. You only gave one
definition. You said:

"'high-tech' was regularly used to describe the kinds of businesses that
were hatched at the incubator.  These new companies used recent
technological advances to build or create a new product or service.
These "high-tech" businesses were thought to mean high-paying jobs for
Moscow's citizens."

>From this may I assume you to mean that only those jobs that have a
"high-paying" element to them is what gives value to "high-tech"? What
about my two examples? Are they not "high-tech" enough? And you say that
a "coffee shop" is not "high-tech". Haven't you kept up with the latest
development in espresso machines. A baristro gets paid the big bucks for
making those cute little designs with the foam on the top of the latte.

Still waiting for a real answer.

lemeno Doug!
