Candidates' Policies on Technology

Barack Obama's Policies

Obama is described as more activist on technology than McCain. His policies are directed more towards making the Internet available to everyone. He says that the future will rely on how far our technology will stretch. He wants all schoolchildren to be able to have access to the Internet. He also wants people who live in rural areas to be able to have access to the Internet so they too, can be informed.

John McCain's Policies

John McCain is more like the opposite of Obama when it comes to technology. Though, he wants to induce a program that offers tax and financial benefits to companies which provide broadband service for low-income and rural area users. He also wants to hire people who are experienced with technology into the government to help with education, health care, homeland security and other issues.
