NOTE: Not saying religion is bad, it can be beautiful, just in those two particular cases, the religious beliefs pushed a closed/stalled society away from technological progress and have stymied the countries in perpetuity.

NOTE: For more reference on this, check out Guns, Germs and Steel as well as Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, damn interesting reads.

I do like that most of Obama’s plans are structured around enhancing tech, keeping it fair, shaking out the cruft from these processes and getting people’s greedy hands off of open services like the internet and protecting that opportunity for the people; which will allow them to grow and thrive.

I’m also looking forward to the technical advisor/CTO job that he created and see what kind of green efforts and technologies that they encourage moving forward.

I’ll reserve my judgment until he’s had a year in office, but I’m very excited right now given the types of things we are seeing get setup.
