McCain Inventing the Blackberry, Global Warming & Our Future

It is tough not to panic......
An Aide to Senator McCain claimed that Blackberry was a miracle that Senator McCain helped create. When I first read about this, I laughed. I guess the co-founders of Research In Motion had nothing to do with it. Senator McCain was ridiculed by Senator Obama for not being able to even write an e-mail. I found that a bit over the top. Therefore, it seems to me that his technological vision is not as "advanced" as one might lead to believe.
When I read about this statement, I was reminded of how Al Gore was ridiculed when he was "accused" of inventing the interent. The truth was that accoding to Vint Cerf, the father of the Interent, Al Gore played a leading role in creating the ground work for the eventual mass adoption of the interent while in Congress. I suppose Al Gore is used to that kind of ridicule. He is now the subject of ridicule by many for talking about what others simply ignored up to now. This is a testamony he made before the Congress in 2007:
We are right now witnessing the calamity. Galveston is in ruins, Houston has no power and there are challenges all over the midwest of the U.S. This is all thanks to IKE. My fear is that the drive to work to overcome our addiction to carbon and to resurrect our dying planet will be subservient to the economic implosion before us. As someone who is using this forum to think about our challenges and potential solutions, I don't mind noting how overwhelming it is all becoming. As I am writing this daily retrospective, Al Jazeera is reoprting that markets are continuing the freefall in Asia after the bloodbath in Wall Street on Wednesday. If history is any judge, we will overcome. The question is will we?
