#DDay70

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?
