Can We Really Trust the Forecasters?

POSTED 02/23/2009

Are

economic forecasters any more reliable than weather forecasters? Should you make all of your plans based on negative predictions? See what Jeff Burnstein, President, Robotic Industries Association has to say.

Jeff Burnstein has been with RIA since 1983. Today he serves as the association's President, and also President of the Automation Technologies Council, the parent group for RIA and its two sister trade groups, the Automated Imaging Association and the Motion Control Association. He hopes this blog will inspire lively discussions among RIA members and encourage members to add their own blogs to Robotics Online.
