So President Obama’s team hasn’t been in the White House two days, and they are coming to grips with the fact that they walked into a White House that has no laptops, no Instant Messaging, no Facebook, and no Macs:
“It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said of his new digs.
Before you say “suck it up and use XP just like the rest of us,” consider this: Obama and company ran the most technology intensive election campaign in the history of the world. Walking into the White House is akin to living in the dark ages from their perspective.
I’m guessing that a new tech infrastructure and business rules for the executive office of the President are coming down the pipe very soon.
