The Next President of The United States

No, I am not going to push a specific presidential someone - yet. But I really enjoyed reading and listening to Andrew Rasiej's discussion on the technological issues that are seemingly ignored (and or forgotten to be discussed - perhaps they are just technologically ignorant) by any of the potential presidential candidate. He listed six things that he wants the candidates to address; it seems, that he believes the candidate who does address or commits to, will be the next president (what are you thoughts? I really like #2 and #4):

1. Declare the Internet a public good
2. Provide affordable high-speed wireless Internet access nationwide
3. Support ‘Net Neutrality’
4. Instead of “No Child Left Behind,” our goal should be “Every Child Connected.”
5. Build a Connected Democracy
6. Create a National Tech Corps
