Amen. We need to modernize our country from top to bottom and from top down and bottom up.
Finally…tech will push this nation out of the recession, let’s do some good for the country!
It is smart to invest now in technologies that will make us all more productive. It is not good enough to empower only those at the top, we need to empower everyone.
While definitely a positive step the key will be whether or not the funding actually makes it to the appropriate types of tech spending. If the funds are simply exhausted on some pet project we’ll see little benefit.Keep your fingers crossed.-Mike Dhttp://www.daileymuse.com
Can someone explain how President Obama’s Stimulus Package helps broadband advancement
Although the package was rushed a bit, I applaud the president for the passage of the stimulus. I am starting to get skeptical that President Obama will pass health care reform.
