A World Worth Fighting For
Okay. My husband Alan often struggles with email issues and asks for my help, whether to classify received messages according to the date or sender, or to attach a file, or to include a picture in the message body, as often happens to a good majority of people our age. Alan, however, is not running for President of the United States. He has been retired for more than 10 years; he doesn’t even work, nor he has the chance of influencing people, except perhaps myself and his two adult sons. It does not mean that he’s not brilliant, of course, capable of a deep understanding of what’s going on and even of forecasting what is about to go on.
Now, in all honesty, would you like to have a President of the United States who doesn’t know the first thing about emails?
Let’s face it. Most people are not “tech savvies” at all. They know how to “use” technology, but they don’t actually “understand” it. If they have any issue with their computers or cell phones, they call the specialist and that’s it.
This has rarely been the case with me. I did ask for help a few times, of course, most of them turning to my webmaster. By the way, I only hired a webmaster when my company’s website grew to the point of turning completely unmanageable by a person who does not dedicate herself to it 24/7. KBR’s website has now more than 500 pages live, figure that.
For this and other reasons, I’ve been following the “Clinton’s email issue” with a lot of interest. I started
