NASA Robonaut shakes hands with a NASA astronaut.

The U.S. and world economies were revolutionized by globalization and later by the digital revolution. What's coming next? This hour, we sit down with someone who has an idea of what's to come. Alec Ross served as Senior Advisor for Innovation to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He tells us how emerging fields like robotics and genomics are changing the way we live and work.

We also check in with Dr. Edison Liu, who is heading up one of the biggest companies in Connecticut's bioscience industry. How will these future changes affect our state's economy?
