we were glued to the television set yesterday, watching the elections in the U S of A. it was history- in-the- making-since-day-one-of-the-campaign-period. watching the coverage in the CNN channel, i can’t helped but be amazed at the technology they employed for the viewing public to understand and comprehend their electoral processes. even my 6th grade daughter said – mama, when was their election held? i replied, today. She answered back-today?why they already have the results! And proclaimed the winner! i said, yes, because they are not in the Philippines, which takes months and years to count the votes and proclaim the winners.
i truly appreciated the computerized voting. how i wish that come 2010 when we will be electing our president, voting would be fast and results be known immediately. as far as i know, the bill proposing for computerization of the election process is still at the congress since it-was-filed-jurassic-years-ago. but then, that’s making history, too!
