I love Twitter, this morning I felt like I had company in my home office with the Tweets coming fast and furious. The posts are humorous  interesting and helpful.

As I was reading the local newspaper, the Record, I noticed an article bemoaning the awful prospect of President Elect Obama not being able to continue using his beloved Blackberry. Ok, so now let us consider the facts we have before us.

However fantastic new technology is today, people are people and no product or service can ever be deemed secure, sorry but that my opinion like it or lump it. Look at past incidences, Prince Charles had his private cell phone conversations leaked and everyone in the world knew what he had said to his future wife, Camilla.

When people are in charge of the technology, as with an example recently of credit card information being stolen from outside a store, via a not so secure wireless connection, security issues happen.

The new soon to be President should consider his future safety and privacy above any love of a device or any such thing. As  President he may be the target of many enemies why give them more ammunition?
