I heard of a few books about the 'wireless revolution," where such Third World countries are skipping over centuries on now not needed technology of wires and cables and transmission lines.

With GPS you can't even get lost in the woods anymore.

Put money into satellite and g3/g4 wifi hot spots...Drop off an iPhone or two in Third World villages (and probably cost less than an AK-47) and a million lights will shine (even if they're only calling porn lines or playing video games).

The linkage between people, the links to the world's library of knowledge, it's as big as the Industrial Revolution, 4sure.

I live in rural Arizona, USA. About five years ago the government started a program for a true state wide network of cell phone towers, subsidizing them in areas where it wouldn't pay off.

Then it sold cell phones to Native Americas in the middle of nowhere for $1.00 a month. (350 minutes).
Later, all folks on social security or below the poverty guideline could also get these cell phones.

Has it cured poverty? Restored clean water to all wells? Increased school test scores?

No. But no one's getting lost in the woods anymore. People can call for an ambulance or tow truck if they need one.

Other countries also have led pioneering programs in this direction, like schools and medical care in Australia, I understand.

President Obama's put's spreading broadband as one of his high priorities and got money to do it.

Who knows? Maybe we should make having an iPhone or a Blackberry a Constitutional right?

And free copies of Halo Wars, Call of Duty, Sims & the Age of Empires for Everybody.

And the complete Adobe Master Suite Programs should be available to anyone citizens who wants a copy (with lifetime free upgrades, naturally).

Forget nationalizing banks with toxic assets: let's nationalize Adobe and distribute all it's programs with free downloads - gads! - wouldn't cost a dime!

It's time to Think Big and take Great Leaps Forward. No need for war anymore.
