New Frontier
Uncharted ground ahead
New Frontier was the slogan for John F.
Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign and subsequent domestic program, evoking unexplored territory and national ambition.
The phrase suggested America faced challenges—in space, civil rights, poverty—requiring the pioneer spirit.
More broadly, any new frontier is an emerging field or area of possibility: Artificial intelligence is the new frontier of computing.
