Barack
Obama Warns Students On Getting
Independent
News, Sees Need For Big Brother

Sources
US President Barack Obama has
criticized new
forms of technology, such as the
iPod and
the Xbox.
The leader, while addressing
students at
Hampton University, Virginia, also
pointed
out that journalists and news
outlets these
days have become obsessed with
superficial
coverage.
"You're coming of age in a 24/7
media
environment that bombards us with
all kinds
of content and exposes us to all
kinds of
arguments, some of which don't
always rank
all that high on the truth meter,"
the
Telegraph quoted him as saying.
He added: "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.
"All of this is not only putting new
pressures on you, it is putting new
pressures on our country and on our
democracy."
However, he admitted that world was
at a
moment of "breathtaking change. We
can't stop these changes... but we
can
[manipulate] them."
