The 21st century President
November 16, 2008 – 8:45 amThe NY Times web site has an interesting article on the seperation anxiety president delegate Obama (he won't be president elect until the electoral college votes him in) might be having about the impending date when he will have to relinquish his cherished BlackBerry. Being an avid mobile communicator myself, I certainly can appreciate the discomfort one experiences when seperated from a device such as a BlackBerry (full disclusure, I moved from the BB to the iPhone a few months ago... I miss the BB for it's ease of use). In this instance, though, here is a man rising to the height of global power who will have an army of staffers to inform him and attend to trivialities such as writing correspondence but is report to possibly still miss the unfettered access to raw information and feedback. Quite the quandry.
