After class when we discussed net neutrality and watched Obama discuss his views of it, I was curious to find something with McCain's standpoints. Net neutrality was a topic I hadn't really heard much about or understood before the readings, so I don't really think it was a topic John McCain would have brought up. I'm not taking any political sides in this, but I think it's safe and pretty neutral to say that McCain didn't really utilize technology as Obama did to reach the younger generations. Here's a video of McCain talking about the infrastructure of technology. It's interesting to watch him because it's pretty clear he isn't 100 percent comfortable with the subject matter.

i really wanted to see the other side of the debate on this issue! thanks for posting it. It is clear that there is defiantly a generational gap. i wonder that even kids who are learning the internet now, how much more advance they will be then we were when they are in college.
ReplyDeleteThis is one more reason why McCain was not able to gain the advantage over Obama, he was completely lacking in his ability to connect to the youth.
