Technology

If we can make every American technologically literate, if we can make our Government wise not only in its own use of technology but in setting those conditions and giving those tools.

But with every new technological advance there are new challenges, and we must meet them— both Government and the private sector—in partnership.

The new technologies that you use are also finding their ways into every sector of our economy, making companies of all kinds more competitive.

If not now, when will we ever step forward to bring the hope of a good job, decent health care, safe communities, quality education, and new technology to every corner of this Nation, from Penobscot, Maine, to Window Rock, Arizona?

We feel a high level of confidence about where we are with the Y2K problems.

It is important that all of our children learn and that we develop a level of comfort with basic technology and basic scientific concepts.

Digital technology combined with medical science made this possible.

I believe technology, properly used, can not only give people a more interactive engagement in the political process.

I'm interested in maximizing the ability of our country to use technology for economic empowerment.

My balanced budget would do this, while increasing investments in areas like education, technology, the environment, and defense.

The explosion of computer technology and the Internet...has literally made the distance barrier almost insignificant for many kinds of economic activity.

Computers and new educational software can make a real difference in the way teachers teach and a student learns.

Vice President Gore and I have set a goal of connecting every classroom in America to the Internet.

I'm pleased to announce that new Department of Education data show that more than half of all our Nation's classrooms are now connected—nearly twice as many connections as last year.

Teachers must be as comfortable with a computer as they are with a chalkboard.

I look forward to working with the CEO forum and other leaders in industry and education to give every child and teacher in America access to these high-tech tools for learning.

Science, engineering, and technology are potent forces for progress and achievement.

I especially commend the Congress for authorizing the NSF's participation in the Next Generation Internet Program.
