Sen. Biden: we need an 'Online Nation'
On November 5, Senator Joe Biden joined CWA activists at an event at Marshalltown Community College in Marshalltown, IA to talk about the importance of bringing high speed internet access to all Americans.
According to Sen. Joe Biden, although we've led the world in educational standards historically, in the last 20 years, the rest of the world has caught up with the U.S. with "warp speed. Some of them have gone beyond us."
As an answer to this problem, Sen. Biden has introduced a plan called "Online Nation," designed to help American students and workers catch up with global competition.
"The computer is to 21st Century education what the pencil was to 19th Century education," he said.
