Obama says TOTAL Broadband
Mike wrote: As usual, the right-wingers in the group want to make fun of something Obama wants to do. I think universal broadband access would be a great step for the long-term competitiveness of our nation. The simple fact is that America is no longer the home to most heavy industry and it is unlikely those days will ever return, given the cheap industrial labor available in the rest of the world. America's future must involve increasing the educational level of Americans and re-training American workers for handling and servicing global info flows. The prices of computing machinery have already fallen greatly and will decrease more with current projects underway to produce cheaper laptops for 3rd world access. Universal broadband will also greatly change our educational system enabling new types of home education and even replacing schools. Already, online education is taking off and more people than ever before find themselves working via the internet. To ridicule this effort because the poorest sectors cannot currently afford computers is truly idiotic and ironic, given that those critiques are being launched by folks with computers and internet access. So far, I'm pretty impressed with Obama's cabinet picks (moderate centrists) and his choices of policy initiatives. He's not even President, yet, and is already proving to be a much stronger leader that what we've grown to expect over the last eight years! What flavour are you drinking today? |
