The Obama non-effect on tech

[Commentary] Make no mistake, Obama is not about tech, he's about communications, and while there is nothing wrong with this, don't expect a sudden governmental understanding of the complexities of the tech sector. This means we can expect an awkward approach to tech. We'll see a governmental interest in the superficial and trendy notions that percolate through the society promoted by public relations sources and those with a political agenda. Not all is lost. Most of the tech savvy companies can play the game and pay lip-service to today's memes such as "green-tech." The products that emerge from the tech industry are naturally "green" they just need to be labeled as such. Meanwhile, true tech efforts will be driven by entrepreneurship and invention, neither of which is likely to be helped much by this administration -- unless you are in the Internet or telephony space, that is.
