Filip Novotny The President of the United States, Barack Obama, announced in his speech yesterday that he will introduce high-speed Internet connections to almost all American schools in the near future. 99% of students should be covered and Apple will also contribute to the whole event in addition to other companies.
Barack Obama addressed the issue during his annual State of the Union Address. This regular speech informs members of the legislature and the general public about the direction the American superpower will take in the coming year. In this year's report, the US president focused on improving the quality of education, a topic closely related to technological development. The ConnectED program wants to provide ultra-fast Internet for the vast majority of American students.
Although this is a very large-scale project, according to Obama, its implementation will not take long. “Last year I promised that 99% of our students would have access to high-speed internet within four years. Today I can announce that we will connect more than 15 schools and 000 million students in the next two years," he said on the Congress floor.
This broadband expansion will be possible thanks to the contribution of the independent government agency FCC (Federal Communications Commission), but also several private companies. In his speech, Obama mentioned technology companies Apple and Microsoft, as well as mobile carriers Sprint and Verizon. Thanks to their contribution, American schools will be connected to the Internet with at least 100 Mbit, but ideally gigabit speed. Due to the popularity of devices such as the iPad or MacBook Air, school-wide Wi-Fi signal coverage is also very important.
Apple responded to President Obama's speech in declaration for The Loop: “We are proud to join President Obama's historic initiative that is transforming American education. We have promised support in the form of MacBooks, iPads, software and expert advice." The White House also states in press materials that it plans to cooperate more with Apple and the other companies mentioned. The presidential office should provide more details about its form soon.
How about if you also wrote what other companies will take part in it, hm? This is how it sounds like Apple is playing prim, but it doesn't have to be true..
Perhaps it would be enough to read the entire text, other companies are also mentioned in it.
Or maybe it would be enough not to write misleading tabloid headlines. A single letter would be enough and it would immediately be clear and true.
"even with the help of Apple".
Do not lower yourself to such practices, it degrades your qualities and you are cutting your own branch. It only takes a few articles like this and people stop reading because the title says something different than the content, so it just annoys them and next time they go somewhere else, because I don't even enjoy getting upset about articles.
You don't write for the dull masses like members of the planet nova club of friends, but I dare say you write for people with brains, so it should look like that too.
I think the article is well written. I don't see anything tabloid in the fact that the author on the website, about news from the world of Apple, "highlights" Apple itself. Is this supposed to melt over Microsoft's complicity? In addition, it is written about another 3 companies. If it upsets anyone, then don't read it or take Rohypnol first...
