The problems we face in the 21st century require innovative
thinking from all of us. Be it students, academics, business
researchers of government policy makers. Hopes for improving our
healthcare, food supply, community safety and environmental
sustainability depend on the pervasive application of research
solutions. The research heroes who take on the immense problems of
our time face bigger than ever challenges, but if they adopt potent
guiding principles and effective research lifecycle strategies,
they can produce the advances that will enhance the lives of many
people. These inspirational research leaders will break free from
traditional thinking, disciplinary boundaries, and narrow
aspirations. They will be bold innovators and engaged
collaborators, who are ready to lead, yet open to new ideas,
self-confident, yet empathetic to others. In this book, Ben
Shneiderman recognizes the unbounded nature of human creativity,
the multiplicative power of teamwork, and the catalytic effects of
innovation. He reports on the growing number of initiatives to
promote more integrated approaches to research so as to promote the
expansion of these efforts. It is meant as a guide to students and
junior researchers, as well as a manifesto for senior researchers
and policy makers, challenging widely-held beliefs about how
applied innovations evolve and how basic breakthroughs are made,
and helping to plot the course towards tomorrow's great
advancements.

Using Google Super Vote to Create The Super States of America is
all about how to use the latest Internet Voting technology to save
this country and later the world from the rule of the "Puny and
Undersized Brain Trust." Google Super-Vote is used currently to
choose the viewer's favorite contestants to be the next American
Idol. We can use this same Internet Technology to select from a
wider range of candidates and a wider range of ideas. I became
interested in real democracy in America when I was asked by
President Nixon to join his highly immoral, unethical, and highly
destructive military machine and participate in the horror known as
Viet Nam. It was this most perplexing moment in my life that made
me realize there had to be a better way to conduct the affairs of
what I and many millions of other people all over the world
considered to be the greatest country of all time, and this
decision not our finest hour. Everyone I knew and millions of
Americans, were protesting against this war. Yet, one man, Lyndon
Johnson and then his successor Richard Nixon defied the will of the
vast majority of American people and decided to have his little war
despite public opinion, citing 'The Silent Majority'. According to
Nixon, most people supported him by their silence. Until the
invention of the Internet, we had no voice, so they still can
consider us a 'Silent Majority' and much of the evil in this world
is perpetrated even today under this banner. With Google Super-Vote
and the rest of the Internet's wonderful and amazing technology the
MAJORITY need not, nor can be silent any longer. Voting on the
Internet is an idea whose time has come. Let's allow our greatest
minds at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, etc. put
together the best type of democracy we can have. In History, there
are moments like this only once in a lifetime. If the vast majority
of the reading public can support this idea, the vast majority of
the American people will always be the winners. Google is perhaps
the single greatest influence on our lives in the past few years
more so than any other single entity. Recently Google has ventured
into Immortality, Electric cars that drive themselves,
Fiber-Optics, TV, movies, music and much more. Why not allow this
amazing group of talented and highly innovative engineers re-design
our system of government so that America can once again regain her
former glory as the best and most beloved nation on Earth? Google's
corporate motto is 'Do No Evil'. And, though, this motto expresses,
a highly unambitious approach, at least they strive to do no evil
every day. With Google making the Super-Vote technology available
to all of the voting public in America today, they will be able to
change their motto to 'Do Lots of Good'. The motto of this book -
if a book could have a motto - would be "Let every citizen, every
corporation leave the world a better place than how they found it."
For even a corporate entity, which the United States Supreme Court
has declared to be a 'Living Person'. My goal as an author is to
accomplish at least this much in my life. If you share this goal
with me this book will show you the most impactful, the highest and
best way in which you can achieve it with hundreds of examples.
And, lest you think this is the responsibility of the elected
politicians to do everything the right way - you are sadly
mistaken. Why doesn't Obama allow us to use Google Super-Vote right
now to vote on Obamacare? Why are we not using it to vote on
continued War and Financial Support in Afghanistan and Pakistan -
Two places that HATE US? Why doesn't Congress allow us to vote on
their salaries? Why don't they let us use Google Super-Vote in the
next election of 2016? Why don't we use Google Super-Vote to
prevent the next useless war and senseless war or to Abolish the
IRS? Or how to create more JOBS in America? Imagine the
possibilities. In this book, we do more t
