I think we should invest in gifted kids like Taylor Wilson and schools like Davidson Academy (http://sciradioactive.com/Taylors_Nuke_Site/About_Me.html; http://www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu/Articles.aspx?ArticleID=197). Davidson Academy is the ONLY school in the US that caters to profoundly gifted kids and it's in Reno, NV. These are often (not always though) the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerbergs. Still, even for highly gifted kids, there is no federal mandate to accommodate them.
When we don't invest in gifted kids, they often underachieve and become disillusioned with school and society. The repercussions can be cybercrime.
Tracking is using visualization skills, though visual spatial skills include many aspects. But if you watched the last series of Master Chef, you may have caught a blind female contestant replicating stunning gourmet dishes with her visual spatial skills. She was absolutely amazing.
