Transformed
The President-elect has already started the transformation process, by using The Twitter to change both the tenor and the nature of constituency engagement. As for the boring policy stuff, there will be plenty of eager minions to work on that.

Re: Transformed
@dmendyk - indeed he has mastered Twitter. My concern is that is the extent of his knowledge of technology.
Even last week he was questioning whether software could review all the FBI emails to determine if they were duplicates in one week's time.
I think he will have an industrial awareness (ie cyber security) - I like the suggestion that he turn to Putin - maybe he will be in the cabinet? But the nuances and transformation of our society with digital and IoT I believe are not his strong skills. He is still promoting bringing back manufacturing to create jobs - I think he is missing the impact of technology.

Re: Changing
We are going to have a president that doesn't use email.. does that make us great again? He will avoid any "cyber" attacks by not using technology at all!
I guess I don't even know how a telegram works now, so I'm out of the loop, too....

Hopefully he will bring jobs into the telco sector instead of sending them fleaing.

Re: Transformed
I would say that the President-elect's grasp of technology is about on a par with others in his age and social group. I wouldn't hold that against him. And, in fact, if he finds this of zero interest, then there's a better chance that this is one of the things that gets delegated to someone who has some depth of knowledge. As for the promise of bringing back manufacturing, he may as well promise nothing but sunny weekends for his four-year run. Besides, there will be plenty of jobs available building walls and such.

Re: Changing
Considering the role that email played in this election, that may be the wisest decision made.
Re: Changing
@mhh: He must have some email. You need email to have a Twitter account, no?
In any case, two points of information I might make out of fairness: (1) email experts ackowledge that email is inherently insecure (and, accordingly, particularly ever since the Snowden revelations, we're the fools for using it and relying upon it), and (2) other national governments -- such as Russia and Germany -- have already begun going back to typewriters for particularly sensitive documents/communications.
Re: Transformed
@dmendyk: Someone close to me made the following apt observation just the other day: that if Twitter had been around 100 or even 200 years ago, elections back then would have been similar.

Re: Transformed
As portrayed in the stage show (and of course the book) Hamilton, the great minds collectively known as the Founding Fathers had no problems with smearing one another. The medium of choice -- really the only medium available -- was print. And like today's social media, newspapers back then essentially were circulated only to like-minded people. So how much has really changed, and when exactly were those good old days?
