Obama, technology and the future - Part Three

by Christian Milsom on Nov 12, 2008 at 04:03 PM

So far I have looked at two sections of Obama’s policies: an open Internet and his aim for a connected democracy and infrastructure so it comes the turn of the final section: teaching adults and children of the world of technology.

by JG Mason on Nov 4, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Sarah Palin had at least 10 other secret email accounts aside from the one that was hacked into last month, according to an ITS technician who worked with a Palin aide to set them up.  The McCain campaign admits this but, of course, put their own interesting spin on it.… Continue Reading »
