Neal I went out on the street and asked people if they knew what net neutrality was and I'm sure you can imagine the results were highly entertaining so take a look at this we write back I think about net neutrality everyday because I'm a huge nerd and Tim who is my hero but I'm here in the Flatiron District in New York to ask these people what they think about it if they even know what it is and most importantly if they think anything should be done about it what is that neutrality what net neutrality I have no idea I have no idea I have no idea I don't know so I've seen various YouTube tutorials or you know explanations of net neutrality and all of them make sense once I finished watching them but when you asked me what it is it's fairly complicated to explain so I ask you question who owns the Internet I want to say people on the internet the people the data is owned by the people that have the data on their servers and the connections to the data is owned by the ISPs the providers no problem really is was this basically impossible to explain I mean what can you say do you want to pay more for YouTube so do you think like Verizon should be sales you can go to every set in the internet except for YouTube if you know I don't think but you want you see that fast by dollars no absolutely not I it wouldn't be cool but it's business this is awful nobody knows what net neutrality is when they do find out they didn't want to talk about it because it's really political but in a spirit of this election year I'm gonna get desperate I'm calling Barack Obama and I'm calling Mitt Romney let's see what they have to say hi where does the president stand on a net neutrality yeah do you know what net neutrality is so who should have more regulatory power over the Internet the government or Verizon president even though verizon sells you a product they should be the ones who determine how that product works that makes sense because if anything ever goes wrong you know who to go to hi there I'm really interested in voting for Mitt Romney but I've been I'm just wondering what his position on you can't just keep on putting me into robot town like this you have to press zero when you call Romney headquarters it tells you to wait and then it takes you to the top of the phone so this has been the worst day of my life nobody knows what net neutrality is nobody cares about it nobody even really wants to talk about it with me not even the president permit I thought it would be on my side so I'm gonna go I'm gonna take a break maybe have a drink maybe throw myself in front of a bus good night Internet it was nice knowing you a an upsetting story one we hope will find an end someday
