When you think about it, George W. Bush is the ultimate work-at-home guy. His home office is a little big for my taste, but still...The question is whether you can successfully work from home and not be tech savvy, or Internet savvy? The answer is, apparently so.
According to The Wall Street Journal Online , in a strange response to a interview question raised in a CNBC interview with Maria Bartiromo, the President referred to having used the "the Google". (I guess it is something like his use of the word "the Internets").
The President was asked if he ever Googled anybody, and his answer was interesting. “Occasionally. One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps. It’s very interesting to see that. I forgot the name of the program, but you get the satellite and you can — like, I kind of like to look at the ranch on Google, reminds me of where I want to be sometimes. Yeah, I do it some.” He added: “I tend not to email or — not only tend not to email, I don’t email, because of the different record requests that can happen to a president. I don’t want to receive emails because, you know, there’s no telling what somebody’s email may — it would show up as, you know, a part of some kind of a story, and I wouldn’t be able to say, `Well, I didn’t read the email.’ `But I sent it to your address, how can you say you didn’t?’ So, in other words, I’m very cautious about emailing.”
Talk about being a bubble. I guess it is more like I have people that do "the Google" for me.
