Our next president has a huge fight waiting for him as he takes office this month.
Whether to give up his BlackBerry.
“I’m still clinging to my BlackBerry,” Barack Obama said. “They’re going to pry it out of my hands.”
This article says the nation’s 44th president is being advised to hang up the electronic device for security purposes. He’s not giving up without a fight.
“I’m still in a scuffle around that,” Obama said in an interview broadcast on the Today Show. “How do you stay in touch with the flow of everyday life?”
Indeed, how do you?
Has your BlackBerry become your indispensable companion? Or do your 2009 resolutions include laying off the e-mail during your off-hours.
Anyone have tips on breaking the habit for President-Elect Obama, if he does indeed have to surrender his BlackBerry?
