we all have to deal with it.

And what about all those bicycle messengers in New York, who used to charge through the red lights without even looking to right or left? What about them?

Jesse is partially right. The Internet that was invented by Al Gore has resulted in Millions of jobs leaving the USA as computers have made it possible for hard working citizens of the world to compete for jobs with US companies.

Our US companies have moved their jobs overseas to avoid Unionization, Taxation, EPA, OSHA, DOL and many other government organiztions that drive up the cost of doing business in the USA. Sad thing when America is not a nation of TAKERS and not workers. We have far too many folks living on the handouts and that is a result of people like Jesse Jackson JR and SR.

If the USA was smart they would outsouce the IRS to India...

Yes the Ipad has helped to create the possibilities of people in other parts of the world doing the jobs that were once American.

Welcome to Obummer’s world.

he’s a lumberjack and that’s not ok with him.

if the ipad opens up more opportunities for americans to do business, even if the dead tree industry suffers, maybe it’s a fair swap.

Computers - doing the jobs that Americans won’t do.

Well, Junior is just going to have to get his peeps on the ball and learn to use IPADS.

I never saw a computer until I was around 42 years old, yet dived into it became a systems analyst and application developer.

You either try to keep up, or fall by the wayside. It's what America is all about. But Junior probably wants an "Ipad Bailout" for all his peeps that are displaced by technology.

Well I blame the iPad for causing Dunder Mifflin to go under. :)

I’m not an Apple fan, but from a whacko lefty perspective (IOW, Jackson’s point of view) wouldn’t killing the paper industry be a GOOD thing? Won’t it help stop “global warming” and save the spotted owls to boot?

What bothers me is the control that can be exhibited when books are released only electronically.

As for counter jobs, that is going out with the counter culture, maybe?

Serf the net.

“What becomes of publishing companies and publishing company jobs? What becomes of bookstores and libraries, and all of the jobs associated with paper? Well, in the not-too-distant future, such jobs simply won’t exist,” he said.

Publishing companies, bookstores, libraries...by necessity have limited catalogs/stock. And that limited output/stock is often controlled by liberals. What Jesse Jr. is really lamenting here is the true freedom of information afforded by the internet. His poppa must regale him with stories about how things were in the pre-internet days when the lies of the left were buffed and polished by the old media and few means of successfully countering them.
