The Candidates on Technology

[electronicsdrive]

Even Ron Paul (~1 year older than McCain) uses a PC! Come on McCain! You never cease to amaze me!

Oh wait, Obama is already president now.

[shiznaw]

at least he likes classics like Viva Zupata

[missyunikiss]

I'm sure he's not only computer illiterate...

[sbudirah]

Isn't this the guy who said that he would find a better technology for environmental situation, and now he's telling me he don't even use computer........WTFFFFFF

[voooodude]

Knowing how to use a computer today is like knowing how to use a TV back in his day. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!

I don't know about you but, if you went back in time 30 years, would you vote for a president that didn't know how to change a channel?

[lunarsnare]

McCain, by his own admission has not taken the trouble to learn how to use a Computer?

That's one of reasons why he's not on top of things.

Can't even conduct simple background checks on people he involves himself with.

Has to delegate basic communication to his wife or aides?

It's not that he's old in years.

He's just old or lazy or incapable of learning new things.

Or dismissive which would be even worse.

I am sorry, but that's a deal breaker if you want to be president.

I usually don't use net acronyms but OMFG!

Even Dumbya can use a PC.

Well, I guess at least we'll know he won't be illegally deleting any government correspondence.

Seriously, I know there will be people that say "well I can't use a computer either what's the big deal?" but this day and age you practically cannot get a job as a car parts salesman without PC experience -- no way should we hire someone without it for job #1.

nahh he won't delete the correspondence.. he'll have his wife do it.

Actually someone who is going to be making decisions that affect our society better understand how computers AND the Internet(both huge parts of our society) work. It might be a good idea to start with the basics which he clearly doesn't understand. Furthermore, to understand youth today you must understand the technology they spend lots of their time using. He is clearly out of touch with the youth too.

+1 agree!!

Sorry 200092. The fact that McCain hasn't learned how to use a computer says something about his overall interest in technology and that does matter if you're seeking the office of president.

[200092]

You don't really need to use a computer at that level of office.
