Tech - NO


I saw a delightful article today about Obama not wanting to give up his BlackBurry. Isn’t that fun, you would have to say he would be the first President to be all up on mobiles and email and the like (to be fair, it wasn’t about when Bill was in power). I was just thinking, there aren’t too many technological advancements (such as the BlackBurry) that past Presidents would have had to give up when taking office. I am sure that I’m completely wrong in saying that, my ignorance is often overwhelming, but I simple thought that most technological advancements (such as the telephone itself, electricity etc) would have been utilised by the White House relatively quickly.

I hope Obama get to keep on checking his Facebook, he seems like a bit of an addict there too. His fan page has 3 201 193 members.

The top fan pages makes interesting reading:

1. Obama
2. Sleeping (half as many fans as Obama!)
3. Michael Phelps
4. Facebook
5. Coke
6. Batman – the Dark Knight
7. Windows Live Messenger
8. Pizza
9. You Tube
10. Homer J. Simpson

Some other interesting ones:
Top Band – Coldplay (938K friends)
Top Place – Disney Land (255K)
Top Restaurant – McDonalds (463K)
Top Game – Guitar Hero (338K)
The Titanic (third top place?!?! How many bloody people have been there?!?) – (125K)

Some would say these stats are interesting, some that they’re a little scary – all would confidently say I have too much time on my hands.

Oh well, hope Obama keeps the phone
