Moderator-Julie: Let's talk about the idea of Obama as a personal consumer of technology. There's so much chatter about if he can/will use a Blackberry, if he uses a Wii, how he used the Internet and social web sites like Twitter to campaign. Will it help the IT industry in any way to have this young, gadget-loving guy in the White House?

Dan_Tynan: Yes. It's an IT world and an IT economy from here out, so yes, symbolically it's important.

Craig_Mathias: I hear they're taking his BlackBerry away.

Curt_Monash: Craig, you're not keeping up. (See: .)

Matthew_Nickash: The Oval Office is still in the days of pen-and-paper. The President doesn't even have a workstation at his desk.
