According to FastCompany, President Bush opposes the campaign for free nationwide Wi-Fi, which with predominantly serve the rural population. It doesn’t seem to make much sense, but then again, I don’t recall the last thing Bush did that really made a whole lot of sense either.
The argument seems to be that its an inefficient investment [...]
I’m not ashamed to admit that I still really haven’t tapped the full potential of Twitter. I mean, why lie?
