The elections are over!!! And we being techie’s should be very concerned how thing’s would dramatically change if policy’s were to be changed based on IT and tech.

I recently saw this video of Barack Obama’s Tech Policy:

Technology policy has been eclipsed by the economy and other matters in this year’s presidential election, but Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign released a video Sunday that addresses the issue.

The video, called "A Blueprint for Change: Technology," features Obama laying out broad proposals such as doubling federal funding for basic research, enforcing tough antitrust laws, and putting put government data like grants and federal lobbying contracts online in universally accessible formats.

The video, about three minutes long, is pieced together from parts of a speech he gave at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.

There has not been much leadership on technology issues in Washington over the past eight years, CTO Black said responding to Barack Obama’s Tech polices. We don’t want special favors. We just want people to understand us.

Republican and this time runner up John McCain discussed his technology policy extensively. In a video from the 2007 D: All Things Digital conference, he gives his position on a number of issues such as letting the free market resolve issues like Net neutrality.
