When Obama stated that if elected, he would keep his Blackberry, debate echoed through Washington and among the ranks of the Secret Service. What would it be like to have a president who could Twitter, send text messages, and navigate the web with ease? What would it be like to receive a text message from inside the Oval Office and, most importantly, what would it say?
Now, for the first time, We The People are privy to our new leader's epistolary back-and-forths on his wily hand-held device. We're about to discover that his emails (and the replies, from his wife and daughters, Biden, Palen, Rush, Hannity, the new first puppy, and even Bush) are so tuned in to the language of electronic correspondence they come hilariously close to the brink of legibility.
This giftable, imagined glimpse into Obama's beloved Blackberry traverses the mundane and momentous contours of the Commander in Chief's life, from security briefings to spam, basketball practice to domestic bliss, and the panic of oops-I-hit-reply-all, to, of course, the trauma of dealing with the First Mother In Law.
To wit:
BidenMyTime: Hey U, whatcha doin?
BARACKO: M rly busy
BidenMyTime: Right :( Can I lv at 4:45?

My desktop Dell is my best friend followed very closely by the internet it accesses. I've never had a toy or tool that I've enjoyed more and that has done as much for me.
My favorite technology is definitely anything to do with computers and internet! If I don't get on the computer for at least a few minutes everyday, I get a little antsy, just like you Monie lol.

Without a doubt, the internet is my favorite technology. How did I ever survive before without it?
I follow.
Email - no doubt. It's amazing how easy it is to keep in touch with friends all around the world.
It would have to be the internet. I held out for a long time saying I got along fine without it. And now it has become a necessity.

Thanking you for posting such a wonderful contest. I love the Internet, but mainly use Facebook, Blogging and Twitter.~ Amy (amyinkamloops *AT* gmail.com)
Well, until about a week ago I would've sneered at anyone who said their cell phone was a must-have. But, my old basic phone died and I bought a G1 (Google) phone, and I can't put it down. When our electricity went out during a storm, I was able to follow the radar and tornado warnings from the phone. When I'm up late at night waiting for my sweetie to get home from work, I can play Solitaire or a Boggle-like game right from bed. It's the handiest, dandiest thing I've ever owned.
Thanks!
