I’ve never paid attention to politicians. NEVER. But I think I’ll give it a try. The propaganda is getting good enough to get my attention (or I’m desperate enough to want to hear it). I’m pleased to hear that President-elect Obama is dedicated to technology. His pledge to get broadband and computers into public schools is progressive and impressive.
My hope is that this administration remembers that an information society is intangible and that the citizens who participate in the knowledge economy do not produce the physical goods necessary to feed, clothe, shelter, or warm/cool themselves. True infrastructure growth plans must provide agricultural considerations (which haven’t been mentioned) or the fruits of progress will die on the vine.
