considering won't just happen what do you think about german politicians and then level of tech savvy ness first. i'm afraid that many politicians are in the same boat as many ordinary citizens. for most of us the internet sort of appeared out of the blue we didn't grow up with it. and while we're still busy trying to figure out our smartphones there are all sorts of other things that we actually need to get a handle on to. like how to post things online in a responsible way and everything to do with data protection data security and cyber security but who's teaching us that no one when i was growing up the government and our public broadcasters put a lot of emphasis on traffic safety and they even had a t.v. show about it so what kind of initiatives like that do we have today to teach various target groups about all these new issues where are the big publicly funded programs in rural areas in libraries in adult education centers with programs geared toward my parents' generation to provide people with the necessary know how if we continue to think everyone needs to teach themselves i.t.n.

luke's hospital with sick diabetics so van ness hospital can be filled? >> thank you. next, please. >> my name is kevin barnes and i work with the san francisco annes for housing and justice. i feel frustrated coming to you again about the diabetes center at st. luke's. it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. sutter says the number of hours of diabetic education at st. luke's is the same as before, but that's not true. as dr. diedel said, in the past, there were 3.6 f.t.e.s and now there are 1.4. you heard several months ago from cpmc that they were hiring more educators at st. luke's and now the number is down again. this is deceitful, disappointing and unprofessional and it hurts the care of patients at the st. luke's center. at valencia, there's an r.n. educator three days a week, doesn't speak spanish, and mainly sees pregnant diabetics. they use the phone service. they have interpreters sometimes. yes, it means the class standards, but it isn't the most beneficial way to deliver care, particularly to mono lingual patients and those who are less educated. in fairne
