The Internet-Enquete-Commission of the German Federal Parliament, published their first results of their two-year study (quote translated from german media coverage): A mobile computer in every school bag - with this recommendation to the strengthening of media literacy, the Internet Parliament Study Commission presented its first results. "This is a good way, we must now follow through the states and municipalities," said the chairman of the Working Group, Thomas Jarzombek.
"If only every student brings it's (learning)-computer into the classroom, all parties will be forced to deal with the Internet," says the newly published interim report on media literacy. The goal of all efforts to promote media literacy is to empower individuals and strengthen it, especially the interactive media, "to use it self- determined, competent and confident". https://blog.internetenquete.de/ - - - - - - snip Conclusion, the German Federal Parliament needs to become acquainted with Ubuntu rather sooner than later.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
