U.S. Cities Don't Make the Intelligence Cut

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-most-common-elements-in-the-universe-are-hydrogen-and-stupidity dept.

coondoggie writes "For the second year running, no U.S. city has made the list of the world's top Intelligent Communities of 2007, as selected by global think tank Intelligent Community Forum. The ICF selects the Intelligent Community list based on how advanced the communities are in deploying broadband, building a knowledge-based workforce, combining government and private-sector "digital inclusion," fostering innovation and marketing economic development."

    And my karma can handle this.

    Yeah, right, what a surprise... I've heard a rumour that large majority of americans actually believe in god(!), and even that in some states one can't hold a public office if they are atheist. We've done away with that in europe few hundred years ago.
