JFK's Data Race: Defending Americans' Dignity

JFK's Data Race examines the experiences of John F. Kennedy in managing the challenges of the 'consumer age' and compares his experiences with the challenges facing Donald Trump and America today. The analysis shows too many similarities for coincidence just as the third industrial revolution was beginning then and we face the fourth today. Privacy, net neutrality, Artifical Intelligence, the Chinese and Russians threats, social media regulation, Medicare, immigration reform and much more, are all issues JFK faced in a different form and his answers are as applicable today as they were then. As America once again faces a "New Frontier", JFK's warnings resonate in similar circumstances so long ago, "Our very survival is at stake" he warned in 1958 later insisting later that America had to be "pre-eminent" in both military and civilian technologies and or face dire consequences. Accepting the Democratic Party nomination to run for the presidency, JFK's race to develop technologies became enshrined in his New Frontier, which would continue, and was even the subject of the last speech he gave, the day before his tragic assassination. Today however with the emergence of the Soviet-Chinese coalition he predicted and the emergence of 'geo-digital colonialism'; our growing dependency on technology enabling practices like s 'personality harvesting' at home, with civil riots in Charlottesville in 2017 resembling those in Birmingham in 1963 JFK's warnings of 'survival' and 'endurance' are more imperative than ever. Comparing the events of 1961 - 1963 with those of 2016 - 2018 not only reveal much about JFK but provide invaluable lessons today. There is still much to learn from the disruption JFK created and why he is the founding father of modern America.
