Thanks to modem technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output.

The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics（统计）show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually（每年）into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources（少的资源）we may well find technological substitutes（代用品）for many of them through our research programs.Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production （land, labor and capital） are all influenced by technology.
