Allegedly, Trump does not use the phone or have e-mail account (see HERE) . In fact, the past year has come to suggest "cut the Internet in Iraq and in Syria", a herculean task (and an outrage to human rights) that the experts considered it practically impossible – the Internet is, indeed, a network as fuzzy connections that the military forces of the north-american would have to go to these countries to destroy local infrastructure. Even so, there were the satellites to allow the connections. Trump, in a moment of hilarious, went on to say that he was going to speak with Bill Gates (see HERE) on this subject.
I do Not believe that the now american President does not have smartphone. After all, already recognized that, at night, all the writings on the Twitter (and there are so many and so good) are published by him – during the day is also of his authorship, but it is the team that publishes it.
however, his aversion to new technology is known. Last year, on CNN, went on to say that the american army should go back to using the postal mail service to communicate with the troops. A way that would be, according to him, more secure than sending that information by "cables".
in fact, Trump called for a boycott to Apple when the company refused to give the FBI the iPhone of an alleged terrorist. "Who is it that they (Apple) think they are?", said, as you can see HERE.
During the campaign, Donald Trump has not spoken much about technology. So, anyone know very well what their intentions are. However, in July of last year, 150 personalities of technology signed a letter where they considered a presidency Trump would be a disaster for innovation. Among the signatories to the account-if Vint Cerf (the "father" of the Internet) and, for example, Steve Wosniak (co-founder of Apple). The letter, which can be read HERE, argues, among other points, that the diversity of the United States of America is one of its strengths. "Great ideas can come from all parts of society and we must promote this vast and varied creative potential," say the authors.
Trump also proved to be little interested in the discussion about the Neutrality of the Internet. A theme that has been away this campaign, but about which, in 2014, Trump has always been writing ON TWITTER that it would be bad for the media conservative.
in Addition to the scientific and technological community does not know very well what to expect of the new american President, also some of the main trading partners, in these areas, are unaware of the true intentions of the Trump. If you comply with what stated in the campaign, to China, for example, will have to pay a tariff of 45% on all products that are imported from that country. If we take into account that half of the imports that the United States make of China are electronic products, it can be seen that the americans will start paying more for their phones, tablets and laptops. CNBC shows the numbers in THIS ARTICLE.
it Is true that Trump aims to promote the domestic production and force the USA to produce this type of equipment. But it is well-known conversation between Obama and Steve Jobs, in 2011, in which the american President asked Jobs why is not sent to produce the iPhone in the us. The response was, no later than: "When we have a workforce that is similar to the chinese. In volume, in quality and in price", said the foiled founder of Apple.
This weekend, on the "Global Times", a newspaper in chinese, managed by the state, is written, in an editorial, the newly elected President will be "condemned by their ignorance, incompetence and lack of common sense" if you go with the aforementioned rate. You can read the editorial HERE and get to know that the chinese have already prepared retaliation, such as adversely affecting the sales of automobiles in the u.s. and iPhones in that country.
next, Trump is going to force americans to pay more for their gadgets prefer, but not only. It will also put pressure on manufacturers, distributors and resellers of these devices.
Obama was the first to elect a CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and a CDS (Chief Data Scientist) to the White House, promoted the teaching of STEM (Science, Technology, Engenieering, Mathematics) in the schools; he spoke about the importance of Big Data (analysis of large amounts of data); created the National Science and Technology Council ,which produced work in the areas of environmental, sustainability and, for example, on national security; used the social networks to promote causes; and, among hundreds of other examples, until he confessed to the magazine "Wired" to be a trekkie (fan of the TV series Star Trek).
Now, the White House is delivered to the Trump, who does not believe in global warming, you may cancel the stem cell research (taking account of its conservatism), and of which we know nothing about what you think of space exploration. Worse, Donald Trump has a vice-president a creationist (see HERE responsible for discriminatory laws to some minorities.
one thing we can be sure: Science and Technology, in the United States, are now starting a journey of four years in the wilderness of ideas that hides underneath the hairstyle orange-Trump.
