Obama: Tech products harmful to democracy?
Posted: May 10th, 2010, 6:10 pm
"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said.
He bemoaned the fact that "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction," in the clamor of certain blogs and talk radio outlets.
"All of this is not only putting new pressures on you, it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."

It's your iPad, iPod, iPhone that's the problem. Zowie.
Apple are you listening? You are the demons in Obamas world.
