Ever heard of hyperbole?

A speaking style often used as follows:
overstatement, magnification, embroidery, embellishment, excess, overkill, rhetoric; informal purple prose, puffery. ANTONYMS understatement.

It's purpose is to prove a point and isn't alway expected to be totally accurate.

Think about it:
Obama's election was credited, in part, to his skillful use of modern media, from smart phones to Twitter to Flickr. Having said that he can't be totally discounting the use of technology. Therefore he must be drawing attention to what a lot of folks in this forum already know. We spend way to much time using all kinds of technology for non productive purposes.

I think it's fair to say that just as Obama said ""With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations information can become a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment." Personally I will be the first to admit that I spend too much time reading nutty post's and I need to take a break and read a book. That would for sure be a bit of an emancipation.

Finally: The most important thing to remember is that Obama is going to take control of the internet.
This speech was just a cover of his sinister plan to deny everyone the right to buy Apple products.
When that happens all the Apple Fanboys and the one Apple Fanatic round these parts will cry in their beer..........
