The answer to this economic crisis and unemployment checks is, broadband! "President-elect Barack Obama's ambitious economic recovery plan has a goal to create 3 million American jobs in the next two years. Broadband is a part of the answer."
"It's time to broadband the economy" By John T. Chambers, is an article that gives us the answer to our unemployment epidemic. The correlation between broadband and job growth is what needs to happen in this country to help get it back on track.
Obama will need out support as nation to re do our infrastructure, "He has discussed using the proposed stimulus package to rebuild our aging physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, water and energy systems. This is important and needed. If we want a new 21st century economy and society, he also recognizes that broadband connectivity is the additional infrastructure that is essential to our future."
This article most definitely spoke to me because its answer could make dramatic and significant changes in the United States. It could revolutionize the way we live. From health care issues to watching a movie. "Imagine what broadband could do for health care: A medical specialist in Cleveland, Ohio, could do a virtual house call via high-definition video to a homebound retiree in Henderson, Nev. We have the technology now, but we need the connectivity. Imagine applying that same technology to education and changing the very nature of the way students learn --" etc.
Reading this convinced me to support our president in whatever he thinks is best in changing and contortion's out country to make it economically stable again.

I agree very much with our new President's idea of changing the country through infrastructure improvement. In previous generations it was the roads and power lines; for us, it will be the Internet pipes.
ReplyDeleteHaving more ubiquitous access to the Internet is a winning idea for everyone since it will grant access to the medical services you mentioned, and has another effect: online shopping. I can say that I spend money buying goods I would be otherwise unable to buy or even find locally (hello eBay), and if more people can seek out goods in the online realm, it will be great for retaliers and consumers alike and a boon to economic progress.
