Education = Jobs = Future for America

As China quickly leaves us in the dust educationally and technologically we need to wake up and realize that we are on the precipice of a new technology era for humans, not just Americans, but everyone.
Losing technology jobs to China, India, etc. does not affect one or two industries, but EVERY industry. In today's world every job is somehow affected by technology and the more we count on foreign influence and support to control our own technologies we will become the 2nd, 3rd, etc. most powerful nation in the world. And in the end it is less about power and more about what a nation does with that influence. While I have not always been proud of every decision America has imposed on the world at least they have all been made beneath a democratic flag that allowed, even demanded, the people have something to say about that decision = do you really see China sharing that kind of influence with its citizens... I thought not.
It seems we are completely bypassing the best use for Broadband and today's technology = education. We can now reach the smallest burg in the country with the best educaton available, all through broadband. There is no excuse for not being able to inspire our youth and show them a future full of knowledge and possibility.
