if you're like me, a big nerd that's into everything tech-y, you are used to feeling looked over by the government. seriously, can you think of anyone at all in a relatively high political position you can relate too? i sure don't. now we have a new administration with a congress backing him. what changes do you think it will have for us nerds?
really, we know we are the backbone of america. all the major challenges that we face as a country will be solved by scientists and engineers. what are those challenges? i guess my short list is:
1. energy independence
2. broadband infrastructure
3. a better health system
(i would also say internet surveylence and warfare but i try and stay out of the nsa's affairs)
these challenges need new intelligent, clever, all around problem solving. it's time for us to abandon our past solutions that aren't working well and are going to be obsolete in the future. our generation need to create new companies with great business plans to do this. we can do it if we work together. get your friends and start brainstorming ideas and then act on them! if you don't want to act on them, give them to me so i can.
today change.gov was launched. i not going to go into expectations for this site besides what you can read by going to it. it is kinda cool to see the first presidential blog though.
i STRONGLY encourage you to read http://change.gov/agenda/technology these are are pretty good start and we need to make sure that they happen. we need to.
