Bloggers give Obama marching orders for the IT industry

20.01.2009

Dan_Tynan: I'd love to see a commission of blue ribbon computer forensics experts appointed to look into the Bush Administration's e-mail problems.

Curt_Monash: Odd that we're talking both about the Bushies "misplacing" e-mail and Obama leaving e-mail tracks. ~~

The role the new administration should take in tech education

Moderator-Julie: One of Obama's campaign issues around IT was that Americans are at risk of being left behind in the global economy unless we invest more in tech training in schools (and for adults). Thoughts? Is America's tech industry really falling behind? What should the feds be doing for technology education in schools?

Craig_Mathias: That's a tough one, Julie. Should we be teaching kids to use Windows or a Mac? LINUX? How to write code? How to design Web pages? What?
