"Fifty years ago, the founders of this museum focused on modernity and how to present the forces of science and technology alongside those of politics, culture, and social history.
"Today, we continue to grapple with the increasing pace of innovation and technological change as we strive to tell the richest and most inclusive story about ourselves and our past.
"In the future, our successors will still ponder the best ways of keeping our national memory vibrant and current. How would you see America's ideas and ideals being presented fifty years from now."
