All right.

The 1930s saw the highest rate of oil discoveries in U.S. history.

And the field of robotics has gotten much better over time.

Many improvements have been made since this century began.

Day by day and month by month, Internet technology is growing. Actually, make that second by second and minute by minute.

They start in 1990 they measure to 2009.

(Laughter) (Applause)

And then other people will say,

We're moving forward.

And we're going to do it again in the next 25 years.

Um, Shao Dre making a progress.

Is that progress?

These are basically unsolved problems.

That's progress.

It's progress.

We just spent an entire week talking about innovations and advancements and improvements, but you know why we need all of those innovations and advancements and improvements?

Science has made remarkable progress.

It is Washington here, building, building countries.

Every technology is transformed and moved by others.

So once again we are not clear whether we've made any progress.

(Laughter)

Jane has made great progress in Japanese.

I'm willing to try anything.

It's just an incredible device.

Scientific knowledge has greatly advanced since the 16th century.

Two paces... march!

So I'm going to sit here in my chair and not do anything.

That's full immunization.

Comparative studies are now making rapid progress.

But after that, things were pretty steady and pretty uniform.

Today, there are 14 health clinics in that area alone.

(Applause)

(Applause) (Applause ends)

The child has advanced in his knowledge.

The country's civilization has advanced.

You know, I couldn't have dreamed of such a thing as a young girl.

If I go down I find, still, failure random orientations here.

It's a good weird, though.

How progressive of him.

His development...

Infantry, advance.

(Laughter)

There's really no dispute about progress, if we discount the cost of that.

At the same time, it wants to give us things, and what it gives us is basically progress.

Well, research on progeria has come so far in less than 15 years, and that just shows the drive that researchers can have to get this far, and it really means a lot to myself and other kids with progeria, and it shows that if that drive exists, anybody can cure any disease, and hopefully progeria can be cured in the near future, and so we can eliminate those 4,000 diseases that Francis was talking about.
