Are you a candidate that wants to appear "up on the technologies" but don& #39;t know anything about computers? Simple, visit a school computer lab, and look over their shoulder!
You look presidential, technology, kids, education, and many other buzzwords.
Bob Dole, & #39;96.
Senator John Kerry, 1996. Visiting the computer lab, yep.
Here& #39;s Hillary Clinton pulling the Computer Lab trick. I wasn& #39;t able to figure out what year this is, thanks to everyone just making the obvious "delete button" joke.
Another undateable Hillary Clinton Computer Lab picture.
Here& #39;s Clinton using a computer at some point in the 90s, while a soldier watches for some reason.
Some more of Clinton doing the Computer Lab trick, plus the rare Reagan sit-and-point.

Even Fidel Castro loves the Computer Lab trick.
