Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2383545, member: 1831"] I'm going to go off on a tangent here but - NBN... sure, in the short term it may look like it but it could do the world of good in the long, looooooong run depending on which way you look at it. I'm no tech-head myself but anyone who uses the computer enough (APART from just study and social networking) knows Australia is a million miles behind any developed country in terms of the internet and pretty much any semi-developing country in Asia and Europe. Our country is one the best countries to live in yet we are so behind on tech and I think we should start to do something about it. The counter argument is the population argument and how there is not enough demand, but IMO there is enough demand in Australia. I know some people are going to say Australia has always been about the great outdoors and the kids grew up playing sport etc etc - and I'm all for that... I know I don't want the country to turn into just computer using androids but IMO it already has in a way anyway plus sport and outdoors won't die that easily. The alleged price of the NBN does confuse me - I mean obviously it didn't cost other countries that much to get their net speed but I'm guessing this has a lot to do with where we are geographically and so forth... We've got the natural resources but there is no reason why we can't tech up either and it should start with the NBN... IMO it will lead to greather things and provide more opportunity. Bah. /rant [/QUOTE]
