>> guest: the reason, is there a george mason university, george mason university is a very young university, only 37-year-old. in some sense, george mason university grew up with the high-tech business of northern virginia, both in terms of providing graduates and in terms of doing research and doing other kinds of activities at the high-tech companies. we are partner in so many ways with technology companies. the technology boom of northern virginia and george mason university are in parallel. they happened at the same time and we continually need to do that. we just open the new engineering building, school of information technology and engineering is now into a new building, it has a unique characteristic. in the building, there are 20,000 square feet of corporate lease space. so the companies are not going to be leasing space at research park somewhere near george mason. they are leasing corporate lease based in george mason engineering building. >> host: with technology changing so quickly, even a year ago the technology is old anymore. how do you keep up? >> with pain. in a sense, you
