Change

I read an article from the star tribune called, Use Stimulus to Modernize Minnesota by Walt Ling. This article is about Minnesota's chance to prepare for the future to come. Many people have lost their jobs because of the economic crisis we are having. Last year alone Minnesota spent billions of dollars just to repair bridges after 35w. After realizing how much time and money were spent on reconstructing bridges and roadways, many people thought that instead of spending money on things that don't need to be fixed the government should start spending more money on modernizing our society. Recently, the government has asked IBM what the impact of $30 billion in stimulus funds for three areas -- "smart" electrical grids, health-care information technology and broadband technology. IBM let the government know that that this modernization change would cause 900,000 job opportunities.
