While I enjoyed the article in general the section regarding Technology on Maui was so far off based I was compelled to write. Maui has a very vibrant technology sector which includes many hi-tech start ups, to large defense contractors, to Air Force Research Lab, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, and world class observatories on Haleakala summit. In Kihei much of this is centered at the Maui Research Tech Park as well as some companies based in Kahului, and Wailuku at other business centers like the Pono Center Incubator.
While hi-tech isnt the bread and butter for Maui yet, it does represent a significant amount of revenue and employment base for the island. It represents clean technology and exciting opportunities for students to work in higher paying jobs that would allow them to afford a home and not be dependent on the tourist economy.
