There have been a lot of anniversaries lately, namely Reagan’s
death and D-Day. Along with
commemorating the event, these anniversaries have showed us how much the world’s
technology has changed. Even ten years
ago, there was no Twitter when Reagan passed.
It makes the D-Day assaults almost impossible to fathom. How was the largest military operation in
history accomplished without the Internet?
Think of all the calculations and communications that had to be
coordinated for the storming of Normandy.
While there was no Microsoft Office in the 1940s, there were
great leaders. We can have all the
technology at our disposal, but without the right man at the helm, they become
idle Tweets.
Think of Reagan 30 years ago (even then, no Internet) and
Obama today. Even with all of today’s technological
advances, is Obama a better commander-in-chief?
