Don Rumsfeld earlier today made comments on how the Pentagon and the U.S. government in general needed to use new methods of working with the media to get its message out. This would mean using e-mail, Blackberries, instant messaging, digital cameras and blogs. Now it is not that I disagree with Rumsfeld about this, but I just feel like it would carry a lot more weight if it, you know, came from someone who actually had e-mail.
Apparently the Secretary of Defense doesn't use e-mail. Now maybe it is just 'cause I'm a ignorant young'en, but how does a head of a major organization get by without e-mail. And where does he get off lecturing others on how they should use better technology to fight the "war on terror".
Also, not that Rumsfeld can do anything about this, but how about the Administration do something about the broken patent system so that companies like Research In Motion don't have to deal with ridiculous patent problem and can keep their systems running.
