The Technical revelation

In the news today on Yahoo's technology section, there was an article about China and India's governments discussing plans to team up and dominate the world technology market. By the repeated offshoring to India for software development it has come to the point where Microsoft will finally loose it's dominance in the market as well as Intuit. As competition from abroad comes into the US the price of software will fall substantially. In its ever futile effort to sustain itself, Microsoft will most likely try and retaliate by introducing cheaper software overseas and abandon the striped down versions of its software in an attempt to squash any competition. There are already new players in the market such as Red Flag software that are making inroads in Asia quickly and may export to the rest of the world faster than anyone anticipated. If the US is to remain competitive, not just in the software arena, but as a global player in other markets as well we need to change our current education system to accelerate learning and make it available to everyone. China has already figured out that education is the key but in the US education is still rationed to the privileged few than to the masses in an attempt to preserve an outdated caste system that no longer benefits the nation or the world. We have a rich base of untapped potential in the US that could spur economic growth that would be staggering if people had the educational backgrounds and their economic restraints removed to propel us forward. Instead of focusing on preserving the status quo we should in turn be looking to future development by investing heavily in our youth and in all capable Americans. If we maintain the current position to boost short term profits for a select few then we are doomed to languish in mediocrity in the future. Do something about it now! Register to vote, vote for people that actually stand for education rather than just claim that they do, mentor others so they can draw for your experiences weather good or bad and make a commitment to your own self improvement.
