Spuntnik
In the article by Friedman, brings up a lot of interesting ideas. I found it very interesting how our counrty changed directions when the Germans developed Sputnik. I was also interesting that our country came together to advance our science, math, and technological skills. I agree with Friedman that we need to quite worrying about overseas and take care of us first. We are falling behind as a nation and it is now effecting everyone living here. Our school systems are not equip to teach curriculum using new advanced technology. Furthermore, I agree with Friedman that we need to take the money that we are spending in Afghanistan and put it to use here in the states to better educate our children in Mathematics, engineering, and technology.
