"The (Greatest American) Google"
2006.10.27
Our President knows so little about technology that he refers to Google as "The Google." For those of us in the blogosphere, we all know technology. We are jaded somewhat by the fact that we all get it. We should remember that in the blogosphere we are often singing to the choir. Good lord, he doesn't even email because he is afraid someone might say he actually did receive information (which presumably he would want to deny)!
His statement reminds me that technology can make people accountable. Our extranet makes us transparent to our clients, for instance. Many lawyers have the same attitude as the President. They spend their days insulating themselves from being held accountable.
As far as we have come in the technology age, there are still many more miles to go ...ogle.
