Technology, and the President-elect

Greetings, students and IT professionals.

Well, possibly my least favorite and most stressful time of the quadrennia has come and gone - the 2008 elections are in the books and we have a new President-elect.

Regardless of your political leanings, I'm sure many of you have questions regarding President-elect Obama's views on Information Technology. Since the internet is a relatively new technology and the courts are lagging in establishing cyber-laws, the use and governance of Information Systems. Former President Clinton made some headway in developing the DMCA and RIAA acts, and President Bush continued and improved upon those policies.

So, what will President Obama do?

I found an interesting article on ZDNet.com that outlines some of the initiatives and views that the future president holds on Information Technology and the continuing era of the Information age.

There are also some child links out there that you may find interesting...

That's all for this week
