Computer Party

My friend from AP wanted to start a regional political party after he got inspired by so many regional parties. Then I asked him, what is your party name, janda, agenda etc? He said, his party name is 'Computer Party' his flag is a laptop computer and his agenda is the following.
* Free laptop computer to all government school children
* Free computer to all households
* Automated self service applications to all citizens
* Free email id to all voters
* Free web site space to all voters
* Free internet connection

He then continued, if he is elected he will achieve a great progress by making everything transparent using computers, spreading information, creating self services (so that nobody else is involved from government) etc. I thought this is very interesting but not possible practically. I ruled him out saying you are not a politician, but a techie. But I could not refuse his offer and thought he could ofcourse become a good politician, when he said, 'Friend !! You will own the company that provides internet services for a subscription, you will own the hardware shop, you will be the ISP, you will sell anti virus - and dont forget my share !!'
