Technology: Benefiting Our Daily Lives

ATL supports revisiting the rules that govern our technologies to make sure they are up to date and provide a level playing field in order for competition to thrive.

Technology impacts our daily lives in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Just think about the many ways technology has improved our lives; from email and VoIP to cell phones and even social networking sites. From the way we communicate with our friends and families to how we manage our finances and organize our lives. Technology continues to give us more mobility, choices and flexibility allowing us to increase our efficiency and save money.

And the future holds even greater promise. Online medical records and tele-medicine offer the potential to greatly reduce our health care costs. Distance learning can help improve the education of our children. Continued expansion and deployment of broadband technologies has the ability to bring direct economic benefits with the creation of high paying technology jobs.

But in order for America to maintain its position as a technological leader we have a lot of work to do. Today 1 out of every 4 American adults does not use the Internet. The US is falling behind developing nations in broadband access and outdated rules and regulations threaten innovation and competition.

Americans for Technology Leadership (ATL) supports free market solutions to public policy issues surrounding technological advances that face our country. ATL supports a common sense approach to encouraging innovation that will benefit consumers by providing them with more choices and lower prices.

ATL supports revisiting the rules that govern our technologies to make sure they are up to date and provide a level playing field in order for competition to thrive. We support tax policies the encourage innovation. And we support building a technology infrastructure which will allow Americans to directly benefit from the introduction of new technologies.

Join ATL today and help us ensure that all Americans are able to take advantage of the benefits these new technologies bring.
