none of the kids have laptops issued by the school. computer classes are like having dental glasses -- pencil class's. you do not go down the hall to use a pencil. we can do three assessments a year and get rapid parading of those so we can see how kids are doing. we have a lot of creative technology where parents can see how students are doing. but we do not to allot with computer-based curriculum. we only go to eight great, so we have not yet graduated to high school. but all of our kids go on to competitive high schools. >> stuyvesant, stanford, and harvard, who would you give the most credit to? >> i know an incredible debt to my parents. both my parents and grandparents were good about encouraging me to be curious. i often get asked in the context of the internet, what are we teaching kids to use microsoft office? you do not succeed in this economy by knowing a particular kind of software preview succeed by being curious, constantly learning. if i went to a museum with my mother, she would say, how would you do this differently? e

-- working on their laptops on piloting scheduling.have introduced legislation to say that personal use of wireless communication devices like laptop computers by pilots operating commercial aircraft would be banned. i understand there are wireless devices that can be used in the operation of an aircraft that is part of the operation. personal use, i mean, do you support that? >> yes, sir. >> i was surprised to learn that many commercial airline company's prohibit this but faa regulations did not. i felt there should be a federal regulation to prohibit this. >> this may be an area where it was so obvious that you thought nobody would need guidance. anything that is distracting in the cockpit, my only thought is that i would not limit it. laptops can be useful. they have databases with pickup information. some have crew manuals. -- with pertinent information. a magazine, doing puzzles, anything is distracting. they should not be doing that. they have a function. anything that is distracting should be not allowed. we were not allowed to

i thought of these with the laptop issue. they have their rules and cannot be looking and your computer. there was not a rule in place. we're trying to solve that now. the other issue from colgan crash is the inadequacy of flight school. the student can be groomed in a short as six months. cammies flight students be trained -- schools to train students to be commercial pilots in such a short time? >> that is what we're making the suggestion we are making. i want people to appreciate, there has been some misunderstandings that i am somehow opposed to the idea we would have better training. i was looking better training before anyone brought the issue up. i am concerned we're not giving people the elements they need to do the mission they're doing. if someone will be a crop duster, the half to learn some things about low-altitude flying. if you carry a passenger, take the responsibility of caring hands to hundreds of passengers. we have an obligation to make sure you've been exposed to every potential experience and will be the

for example, is it true that cbp agents have to obtain supervisory approval to keep a laptop for morethan five days, but in eyes officer doesn't have to obtain any additional approvals to holden search the laptop for up for 30 days? >> but we are talking about seizures of the border and that would be conducted at cbp. >> that is my point. is in their differential between the two agencies, one standard with regard to laptops and another one with regard to an ipod, depending on the agency? >> senator, yes but i think we would differentiated based-- different types of investigations that each of those components for form. >> i understand with the scotians from your staff that i.c.e. officers conducting searches of all electronic devices enhances the i.c.e. policy, not the cd policy that would apply. is that correct? >> i would have to have a greater context but i think we at to step back and look at what is it that we are doing from a law enforcement perspective. first of all we have changed the policy with respect to search of electronic media particularly the laptop. that was the genes

for example, is it true that cbp agents have to obtain supervisory approval to keep a laptop for morehan five days, but in eyes officer doesn't have to obtain any additional approvals to holden search the laptop for up for 30 days? >> but we are talking about seizures of the border and that would be conducted at cbp. >> that is my point. is in their differential between the two agencies, one standard with regard to laptops and another one with regard to an ipod, depending on the agency? >> senator, yes but i think we would differentiated based-- different types of investigations that each of those components for form. >> i understand with the scotians from your staff that i.c.e. officers conducting searches of all electronic devices enhances the i.c.e. policy, not the cd policy that would apply. is that correct? >> i would have to have a greater context but i think we at to step back and look at what is it that we are doing from a law enforcement perspective. first of all we have changed the policy with respect to search of electronic media particularly the laptop. that was the genesi

i certainly thought of that when we had our laptop flight over the twin cities. the carrier had rule you cowln't be doing email and -- couldn't do email and personal texting. the other issue is the adequacy of flight schools and the captain, as was noted with the student, the student in as short as six months many of these pilots land jobs at regional carriers, can these flight students -- schools train students to become commercial pilots to adequately prepare them to fly 100 people in the air? >> that's why we're making the suggestion that we're making. again, i want people to appreciate -- i think there has been some misunderstanding that i'm opposed to the idea that we have better training. i was looking to better training before anybody brought the issue up. i'm concerned about the elements of training and i'm concerned that we're not giving people the elements they need to do the mission they are doing. if somebody is going to be a crop duster for commercial aviation, they had better learn some things about low altitude flying and better know that business

and laptops can be quite useful and carriers have databases for take off information. somehow the aircraft manuals -- somehow the aircraft manuals stored on board. that is fine, a very appropriate use of it. but magazines, so do proposals, anything that is distracting -- soduko puzzles, anything that is distracting -- my old carrier, we were not allowed to have anything distracting in the cockpit. >> and the massive delays across the country, very briefly, what caused that and how can we ensure that does not happen again? something similar happened to that again a year ago. >> i was very aware of this from about 5:25 a.m. on. what happened was a lark -- a large rubber in the network was being -- a large roger in the network was been replaced in los angeles. it had been mapped improperly. -- a large router in the network was being replaced in los angeles. it had been acting improperly. it was a human error. 18 had suppressed a warning system. had it been -- a member of the team has suppressed a warning system. had it been put on with the warning system, that would not h

the television has become the laptop which has become the ipod. it always is seamlessly integrated but we have not empower parents are educated parents as to how to raise their children in this digital age, so i think chairman genachowski feels pretty passionate about this that we are going to move forward with this childrens ethno-i.t. linkers the technology that is out there and help educate the parents to know we need better technology and we need better education so the next generation of children will have parents who feel empowered to let them watch what they want to watch and not watch what they should be watching. >> guest: said you see this as more of an educational campaign or lack of education on the parent's side to feel comfortable or confident in what the kids are doing? >> guest: there are technologies that are out there that are not well-known by the parents then they need to be used across all the platforms so hopefully we will be working with the industry's the leaking come up with solutions that did work across all the platforms

we have introduced legislation to say that personal use of wireless communication devices like laptop computers by the pilots operating commercial aircraft would be banned. and i think personal use. i understand there are wireless devices that can be used in the operation of an aircraft as part of the operation. but personal use. do you support our legislation? >> yes, sir. >> are you able to do something like that administratively? i was surprised to find many commercial airline companies already prohibit this but the faa regulations would not and we just felt there ought to be a federal regulation that prohibits it. >> this may be one of those areas where it was so obvious he thought no one would need guidance, but anything that's distracting the cockpit, my only thing would be i would limit -- laptops can be quite useful in a number of carriers provide them. they have a basis for takeoff information to meet some of them have the flight crew manuals stored aboard the aircraft. that's fine. very good use of it. but anything, and magazine, doing sudoku puzzles on any of that -- and hi

then i raced down the stairs to the court press area where we all have our laptops set up, and i write a first version of that story, so it can get on our internet site. essentially, you would have to take all day and then file a story that would appear in the next day's newspaper. now, readers want to know as soon as possible what the court ruled. >> my sense about the press and the court is that we are in the early stages of a profound shift in which the press attention to the court, the press awareness of the court is going to be so much smaller over time, that maybe the american people will find the court even more of a stranger to them. the newspaper industry's decline is something that is probably not going to be reversed. one cannot imagine an economic model that will keep that medium viable or restore it to its former prominence at any foreseeable time in the future, given the changing nature of electronic media in this country. so the question arises, who will be the chronicler of the supreme court of the future? who will tell the american people what their supreme court is, w

then i raced down the stairs to the court press area where we all have our laptops set up, and i write a first version of that story, so it can get on our internet site. essentially, you would have to take all day and then file a story that would appear in the next day's newspaper. now, readers want to know as soon as possible what the court ruled. >> my sense about the press and the court is that we are in the early stages of a profound shift in which the press attention to the court, the press awareness of the court is going to be so much smaller over time, that maybe the american people will find the court even more of a stranger to them. the newspaper industry's decline is something that is probably not going to be reversed. one cannot imagine an economic shema since about the press and the court is that we are in the early stages of a profound shift in which the attention to the court, the press awareness of the court, if you want to put it in those terms, is going to be some small over time, that maybe the american people will find the court even more of a stranger to them. the n

son is at the university of delaware, and he could not navigate through the university without a laptop was eight teacher -- a teacher for years. why would you go back to an older style, instead of linking it to a more dynamic process on the internet? guest: there is a lot of discussion out there that textbooks are acting of the past. garbage in, garbage out. a lot of the same people are lining up to put things on disk. it is only better if it is better. it is not the issue to me. the issue is ideas. putting them on a screen does not necessarily make it better. host: how many of your books are in bookstores, how many school systems? >> i do not know, i had no idea was breaking ground with this, but the idea of textbooks that do not sell in stores is appalling. they do not have to be reviewed. we just get these things that nobody has really looked out. if a book is not good enough to sell at a bookstore, they say, it should not be in a cluster. we should just do away with this distinction between trade and text, and that is a real problem. even houses with both trade and text did not com

they did not have we have today, blackberrys and laptops and so one.d as they could. nasa provided simple working platforms for them. you see that in the film. there is footage of some of the early press sites. but it is not, by today's standards, anything you would consider to be glamorous. far from it. host: we want to get viewers and listeners in a vault and the composition of the -- involved in the conversation about the space program with kevin stirling, director of "moon beat." most journalists in this generation and the one that is in front of us have gr integral part of our lives. but the guys and women covering the space program in the early 1960's had never seen anything like this. how did they adjust to that? guest: it was very interesting, as i learned -- many individuals seem to always focus on the astronauts. they were fairly young, in the 30's at the top of their careers. ironically, so were the journalists. they have been covering nasa from the early days, and to the apollo 11 flight, and later apollos as well could the apollo 11 story

they did not have we have today, blackberrys and laptops and so one. the work as hard as they could. nasa provided simple working platforms for them. you see that in the film. there is footage of some of the early press sites. but it is not, by today's standards, anything you would consider to be glamorous. far from it. host: we want to get viewers and listeners in a vault and the composition of the -- involved in the conversation about the space program with kevin stirling, director of "moon beat." most journalists in this generation and the one that is in front of us have grown up with the space program being an integral part of our lives. but the guys and women covering the space program in the early 1960's had never seen anything like this. how did they adjust to that? guest: it was very interesting, as i learned -- many individuals seem to always focus on the astronauts. they were fairly young, in the 30's at the top of their careers. ironically, so were the journalists. they have been covering nasa from the early days, and to the apollo 11 flight

i am sure all of you are better on your laptops than i ever will be.navigate and i venture to say that your children will blow you away with what they do with their laptops. it is a changing and exciting world to be involved in. data will always be necessary. you still want to have direct communication with individual voters based on what you know about them and that is what this is about. you have some sense of how you are getting a hold of it. any other questions? >> thank you very much. [applause] >> we will be back at 9:00. anyone want to talk to ernie? have fun. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> all this week on c-span interview swiss supreme court justices. tonight anthony kennedy and samuel paulino. justice kennedy was on the court for 20 years and talks about the process in reaching a decision. alito looks at the role of the junior justice which he recently handed over to justice sonia sotomayor. see those interviews at 8:00 eastern on c-span. tonight, look at the best books of 2009. several news organizations have publishe

broadcasters are also preparing to deploy it mobile dtv that would allow anybody with a cell phone or laptopelevision wherever they go. i am very proud that i can demonstrate for you and the committee mobile digital television. this is our service displayed through and over the error signal coming from our local station on an lg cell phone that is equipped to receive mobile television. we will be displaying these and others in the house next week. this is dtv, sir. >> i am impressed. i would like to be able to see it. [applause] >> i would be glad to bring it to you at your convenience. we are excited by dtv and the new services that it brings. since the debut in 2007, we remain the only 24-7 children's television service, the only one tester did nationally, free, and over the air. this groundbreaking, bilingual destination for children offers programs in literacy, of values, and healthy life styles and celebrates the unlimited possibilities of a child's imagination. moreover, we recently adopted a set of nutritional guidelines for acceptable foods that can be advertised on the air. it has b

i thought of these with the laptop issue. they have their rules and cannot be looking and your computer. there was not a rule in place. we're trying to solve that now. the other issue from colgan crash is the inadequacy of flight school. the student can be groomed in a short as six months. cammies flight students be trained -- schools to train students to be commercial pilots in such a short time? >> that is what we're making the suggestion we are making. i want people to appreciate, there has been some misunderstandings that i am somehow opposed to the idea we would have better training. i was looking better training before anyone brought the issue up. i am concerned we're not giving people the elements they need to do the mission they're doing. if someone will be a crop duster, the half to learn some things about low-altitude flying. if you carry a passenger, take the responsibility of caring hands to hundreds of passengers. we have an obligation to make sure you've been exposed to every potential experience and will be the

new inventions like who coming along are using broadcast content, it won't be many years until your laptopadcast signal to. and so it's not either or. it is both. >> but it seems to me and i agree i think it is young people because i couldn't watch tv on this either, but it seems to me those same people were the ones who don't want a set sets -- set schedule. they want to watch the show when they watch their show. and then been case as we talk about where is the best place to allocate spectrum, it just -- i just saw a note here -- i want to watch the steelers beat the seahawks in real time. [laughter] .. if people want to watch individual things, then the more cellular rise to approach is more efficient. so i look at here your decision or our decision is what the balance should be, how the balance should be made, and of course on the broadcast side we probably have this additional public interest benefit the general broadcasting that may sway the decision. but i think from an engineering standpoint that's a fundamental question how much of it is individual choice and what time you want to

thinking about developing what it is you're putting out online, that on line will be on handheld pda or laptop what does that mean? it will be a smaller screen. messages have to be simpler in terms of look, if you will, on tv, you see all these ads with the, you know, whirling graphics and all kinds of different stuff, in the background. show you a couple we did like that today. they look like a piece of crap on here. it would be too small. in terms of tactics you're talking about a simpler message to understand actually on here because you can't make vision walls too complicated because there is too much to be seen seen. if that drives what message you picked it does have an impact on message itself too it will have impact on look of messages. you've seen that already in terms of commercial advertisers. we in politics do very little of our own research in terms of pure research on advertising. we usually follow what mcdonald's and proctor & gamble and at&t and people that spend even more money than we do on advertising are doing. you see difference they have in their advertising between their

laptops need to be closed during presentations. all other electronic devices i just got off a plane last night so i'm used to this language. need to be turned off. no tweeting, no email, no blackberries, nothing. and if you're doing it, we'll know. and when our friends from c-span are here, they will know. if you want to look at past campaign plans you can check them out for the next couple days, see chris. they're up in the office. you won't know if they are good or bad. you'll just have a sense of what they look like. some of the sayings, excuse me, the answer to almost every question is it depends. just get used to it. and if we teach you well on presentation day, a week from sunday, that will be your answer back to us sometimes. second thing you need to understand is you are not normal. most college students are not spending two weeks starting three days after christmas in a classroom talking about campaigns. and that's important because when you go out in the real world you need to understand that most people are not thinking

inventions like hulu coming along and using broadcast content, it won't be many years until your laptop have a broadcast signal too. it's not either/or, it's both. >> and it seems to me, i agree, i think it's young people, i couldn't watch on this either. it seems to me those same people are the ones that don't want a set schedule. they want to watch their show when they want to watch their show. that being the case when we talk about the best place to allocate spectrum, yeah, i saw a note, i want to watch this deal or see the sea hawks in real time. right now the steelers aren't beating anyone. yeah, eddie, were you responsible for that? >> and congressman to that point, i hear your point and i hear congressman markey's point. people saying i want to watch when it's happening. and it's part of being the american tradition. particularly when it comes to sports, people are anxious to see it live, realtime. >> mr. hatfield. >> i want to thank you for your kind remarks, and stepping back from this, you have asked the fundamental question. if people want to watch content simultaneously, tha
