congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (last video from 2007)

All of you blackberry addicts out there know the exhilaration that comes with worldwide connectivity in the palm of your hand. What would you feel like with this umbilical chord removed!?!

Well the President elect will soon find out, word on the street is he will have to live without email as the president (and by street I mean the NY Times). It seems that email is a security risk and hard to archive for the public records. The same NY Times article also mentions that President elect Obama plans on having a laptop on the desk in the Oval Office,

“Mr. Obama, however, seems intent on pulling the office at least partly into the 21st century on that score; aides said he hopes to have a laptop computer on his desk in the Oval Office, making him the first American president to do so.”

Sounds like a good step in the right direction, just don’t be surprised if you see President Obama “borrowing” his aides blackberry. Hey it’s a tough habit to break.
