Some Obama inspiration for The Feed today. We learn that the President Elect is preparing to be prised away from his beloved BlackBerry once he enters the Oval Office.
We've already talked about how the Democrat campaign was fought and won with the help of digital communication. Throughout Obama insisted that instead of wading through stacks of files, he had all campaign updates and important documents sent to his mobile.
But security at the White House has to be tight so it's bye bye BlackBerry, hello paper mountain. We bet relinquishing his trusty handheld will be a little weird for the new American leader.
It makes us wonder: would you be able to kiss the online world goodbye? Some people have conducted experiments to give up their mobiles, the internet and their email to see how they get along. Then they blog about it... which surely just proves the theory that the daily buzz of online life is impossible for many of us to do without.
As much as we'd like to run a similar experiment to blog about, The Feed wouldn't get written if we did! But do you think you could go offline or would you hanker after your mobile and laptop all too soon? Tell us what you think.
