Barack Addresses the World Via the Internet

Since the beginning of American history, since the first President, George Washington, there have been forty three presidents of the United States of America. Barack Obama is the forty-forth president. Many have implemented and utilized resources that were available to them at the time.

Barack Obama, the newly elected president of 2008, has begun to use the internet as a valuable resource in which no other American president has used on such a spectrum. This is a revolution in presidential communication and public consultation.

The newly elected President of the United States of America is clearly showing the advancing power of globalization. Obama can now be reached through the household computer instantaneously, which is effective and useful to working families who cannot spare the few extra minutes to watch a televised viewing. They are now enable to call up the viewing at any time and any place with the right internet connection and computer.

Although this limits those who do not own such technology. Americans who do not own computers with internet are at a disadvantage. Approximately 31% of Americans do not own a computer. For these people, it may seem that they are being disconnected from the diplomatic process of America and being forced into the dark because of their incapability’s to connect with the government.

It is understood that Barack Obama wants to revolutionize the way he communicates with America and with the world, but it seems to be unfair that many can not be communicated through this way. Although he is still addressing the country, through television and literacy he has eliminated the unfairness of this.

Globalization is showing its strength over the strongest person in one of the strongest countries in the world. Globalization is proving itself to be a measure that cannot be stopped due to our increasing advancements in communication and technology. It is showing though that it can be a good advancement that helps governments to create stronger democratic lifestyles and connects the world even more closely, and helps to spread the strength of fair and just governmental ideals.
