String theory builds on the great legacy of Yukawa and Tomonaga: New degreesof freedom and control of the UV are two important themes. This talk will givean overview of some of the progress and some of the unsolved problems thatcharacterize string theory today. It is divided into two parts: (1) ConnectingString Theory to the Real World; (2) Gauge Theory/String Theory Duality. Twoother major subjects, which I will omit, are Black Holes in String Theory andThe Impact of String Theory on Mathematics.Comment: 14 pages; Presented at the Yukawa--Tomonaga Centennial Symposium v2: references adde
