ers can vote and otherwise participate— could transform for the better the role of the media in politics. Campaigns could depend less on canned political advertisements and public relations images, and more on knowledge and communication. This would greatly improve our political judgment and health. Political, candidates should really make more of an issue of the computer revolution. I was surprised during the 1984 American campaign. Here we are, living through a radical revolution that is transforming society, putting people out of work, destroying entire industries, uprooting communities. Yet I never heard either of the candidates address the issue, presenting ideas and policies to ensure that people are not displaced by robots, to improve education and jobtraining using new computer tools, to develop the computer revolution to enhance people’s work and personal lives. In addition to debating the economy, candidates should be engaged in a great debate over how to improve work, creativity, and people’s lives through this revolution. Mahatma Gandhi lived in a different time and place, of course, but one aspect of his life is relevant here: the need to teach by concrete deeds rather than words. Candidates should demonstrate by their own example, as well as by giving speeches, the ways in which this technology can be put to good use. They snould show-through their own fluency in computer techniques, by constantly visiting and studying computer workshops, by ensuring that their own children have access to computers from an early age —that this revolution is the key to generating jobs and maintaining a nation’s strength. Such politics could not only prove instrumental in winning an election. More importantly, they could help bring about the Renaissance of America.
