Outdated technology

Maybe not the intended message, but some of us pick up on obscure details . . .

Okay, there was this Obama ad on the noon news, had the sound off, but the visuals indicated it was focusing on education.  Our hopeful in a classroom setting, expounding.  In the background, a blackboard.  Genuine, chalk-type maybe-slate blackboard, like we had back in the Pleistocene. 

I was designing marker-boards into school classrooms twenty, thirty years ago.  Move your campaign into the Century of the Fruitbat, man!

I've done renovation work on a number of older schools -- 1930s brick prison monsters, 1950s bright-and-cheery energy hogs, whatever -- and most already had the chalkboards swapped out for marker boards. And Maine's a poor, rural state . . .

Chalk dust and computers are pretty-much incompatible. Does Texas have computers in classrooms?
