Yes, sir.
My role was similar, I believe, to my role here today, to provide some discussion for the attendees at that program about this notion of futurist thinking, about this notion of not simply anticipating a linear progression of both the problems in the environment in which public safety operates, and to be not just aware of emerging challenges but emerging opportunities.
To the comments I presented earlier, one of the clear examples we can see that's very germane in my normal daily life in college and university education is the radical and rapid changes in how people are being provided opportunities to learn, using technology to accomplish things that even a few years ago were not possible in the college classroom and in the high school classroom.
It's only a matter of time before it would be logical to look at those same types of ideas and ask whether we could realize efficiencies in the ancillary aspects of public safety by rather than requiring several dozen people at a time to attend a particular training session, facilitate completion through online platforms. The possibilities we may be able to see in that area, even in the next two to three years, are light years away from how most people have considered online education and training for the last 10 to 15 years. It's going to be a radically different environment.
I think that in terms of many of our past concerns about online education, of online training being a very poor alternative to face-to-face contact, in reality we're going to see some very strong possibilities that could both enhance training and also substantially reduce costs.
