A Open Letter To: Bill Gates - Steve Jobs and Paul Allen

The problem now is that a lot of us need just the basics....food, a house, and a job.

Education is a fundamental way for us to create the food and energy and jobs - especially a future for our children. Little by little does the trick- one problem addressed at a time.

Right on!
Unfortunately most computers are made outside the USA,but our children are not!
Libraries are being set up all over the country with high speed, even wireless! Take the lap top in, sit comfy. Sit in your car even......some coffee shops even have it, but if you sit in your car here in our state it is called theft. Some cities I saw in the news are set up for wireless, state facilities even, free. Even dial up can be free these days.......not fast but free.
With the public schools so bad in some places, the internet is the way to go! But the poster above is right, eating is first..... educating the hungry is hard.

Lex, I thought you were estivating.

I have high speed that is how I could post my sites with over 650 videos on my two youtube channels and thousands of photographs and journals on many websites- High speed should be for everyone and in every house and everyone should be given a new computer that would access all the libraries in the world. It would give us the hands up & the technology to update our society- Helping our nation and all the children in the USA have the opportunity to access this technology and watch them go- They will figure out how to fix our problems that the adults have created!~ It will in the end be up for them to fix anyways!
How many people still have no computer or high speed internet?
It is around 50 percent.
I was addressing this letter to the people who have the money and the technology to step up to the plate- together- we could fix many problems and it would improve our education system.
It would connect our children and then they could then be the leaders to help the rest of the world.
First though we have to practice Triage- it reminds me of the story of the life raft- we must save ourselves first like the air masks on the Jets first you fix yourself then you can really address the rest.
Unless the people with the power and the technologies step up to the plate now- I am afraid I am just speaking to an empty room.
My Edna Driscoll story incarnate.
I hope we can regain a feeling of true public service and not whats in it for me?
Thanks for your comments!
Welcome to my show @ joelsamuelpresents

I have to agree with Jax that there are many necessities needed. I am waiting until the fifth and hoping to get in one a fuel program to get heating oil (if you need it I did an article about it here on Gather). We have been using space heaters (not many as they place is wired so strangely) and a kerosene heater. So using the furnace would be a blessing.

But Joel, it is a wonderful dream, isn't it!

That is a rediculous idea. Most homes who want a computer and interned access already have them.
