In today's SMH the CEO of Google has announced, what he has called "a truth predictor" , a Google tool which can determine the probability whether a politicians statement is true or false. For a full transcript of the article see the SMH October 5, 2006
The bit that is relevant for our clean energy for eternity campaign is worth reading below:
"The advent of television taught political leaders the art of the sound bite. The Internet will also force them to adapt.
"The Internet has largely filled a role of funding for politicians ... but it has not yet affected elections. It clearly will," Schmidt said.
Writing in the Sun tabloid, the Google boss said the online world has empowered ordinary people with the ability to challenge governments, the media and business.
"It has broken down the barriers that exist between people and information, effectively democratising access to human knowledge," Schmidt wrote.
"This has made us much more powerful as individuals."
