Mr. Underwood Goes To Googleland
Independent presidential contender and longtime political activist Ralph Nader, who still uses a manual Underwood typewriter and is not easily dazzled by technological advances, traveled to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. on Monday to make some waves.
Throughout his career, Nader has confronted head-on the downside of nuclear, automobile, genetic engineering and other industrial advances -- and now he's questioning the amount of time Americans spend in front of their computers. [Hey Ralph, it's 9:49 p.m., I'm online and I logged on at 8 a.m. Lock me up.]
A Nader press release asks: "Has Google and the information revolution that it leads made our society better? Or is it just another mass diversion from the reality of the corporate takeover of our democracy?" At Google HQ, Nader took questions for an hour and then sat down for an eight-minute interview with YouTube, which he is unable to view on his silly typewriter.
