It's Time to Upgrade

The energy and focus that has gone into the technical aspects of the Recovery Bill has hit me with the revelation that, "Wake up America...it's time to upgrade!"

For the last decade or so it seems we have been slogging through the silt at the bottom of a pond when it comes to thinking about innovation and forward thinking.

Sure there were many advances in computing, electronic devices, surveillance internet communication...but most of them seem to be all kinds of innovative ways to sell even more stuff and clutter up our lives with ADVERTISEMENTS for just about everything you could think and some you wouldn't have.

The quality of other aspects of our lives have not been improving, however, and it's time to formulate new ways of looking at the problems we have been ignoring and letting build up into crises.
