State of the Union-Who's your buddy?
Technology is every politican's friend. Even though most of them can't tell the difference between a laptop and a lapdance, they hold the word up like a $5 bill at a strip club.
President Bush referred to technology 7 times in his State of the Union speech last night:
We will make wider use of electronic records and other health information technology to help control costs and reduce dangerous medical errors.
America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology.
I propose to make permanent the research and development tax credit, to encourage bolder private-sector initiatives in technology
This funding will support the work of America's most creative minds as they explore promising areas such as nanotechnology...
By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment
Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.
we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies;
Technology is not a panacea, nor a wonder drug. I'm a technologist and I know better. I wonder if the President does?
