Obama and his Technology

This week I read a interesting article in the Star Tribune called Mr. President! You must get off the Blackberry! This article was about how Barack Obama wants to add his own touch of technology to the white house, with everything from keeping his Blackberry to putting a laptop on the Oval Office desk. If Barack pulls through on his plan for the laptop he will be the first American president to ever do so. Having the laptop he is also trying to keep his e-mail. Someone who did not like the idea of keeping connected to cyberspace while in presidency was president Bush saying, "Since I do not want my private conversations looked at by those out to embarrass, the only course of action is not to correspond in cyberspace,". This brings up a valid point for Obama because trying to keep hackers out is virtually impossible to do. Even with that Obama posted the weekly democratic radio address on Saturday that for the first time will be posted on YouTube.
