Obama and the Internet

I am not one to push my views on others, so don’t think I am.
I just read this article which in short is about how voters can sign up to receive an e-mail or text message as soon as Obama makes his decision for vice president. I was so happily surprised when I read this. Not because I am so super-stoked about knowing who Obama’s VP will be, but because of his use of technology. We all know that everyone is hooked to his/her phone, email, blackberry, whatever. So why not take advantage of it? If your name is out their all the better. I’m all for keeping up with technoogy because that is where our future is (which is I guess why I am predominantly a digital artist (www.stefanielutz.com)).
Another thing that Obama has is the issue of Net Neutrality. For those who don’t know what this issue is about…..you should. Net neutrality prevents internet providers from slowing down or speeding up web content based on its source, ownership, or destination. You can visit www.savetheinternet.com for more info (and yes I realize that “save the internet” sounds like a ridiculous notion, but its a serious issue). But either way, Obama is for preserving net neutrality, which is a positive stride in my book.
