Obama & McCain: Technology

Technology is a complex topic, which has many different definitions.  Everyday technology is evolving, and one who does not evolve with it, is left behind.  Today, mostly everything we do revolves around technology and the internet. The internet is a commonly used tool used to communicate with one another, research, or just for entertainment.  Although technology is not a stressed topic in this election, it is fairly important and both candidates have offered their input on this matter. 

John McCain believes himself to be ready to lead the country during this technology revolution.  It is said that, “Under John McCain’s guiding hand, Congress developed a wireless spectrum policy that spurred the rapid rise of mobile phones and Wi-Fi technology that enables Americans to surf the web while sitting at a coffee shop, airport lounge, or public park.” Therefore, McCain is confident that if elected president, he will be able to further the technology, keeping it at its fine rate. 

While Barack Obama wishes to keep the internet as successful as it is at the moment, by keeping it an open network.  It is said that, “Barack Obama strongly supports the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.”  Therefore, if elected president he will continue to keep the internet as it is today.  Also, Obama says that if elected president, he will use technology to ensure that all American citizens are apart of the government, unlike the secretive Bush Administrative.
