Re: Changing
@mpouraryan, indeed the appointments will unveil the motivations and priorities.  The current unveiling, however, is not very encouraging - it appears more haphazard and insider based, rather than assembling the best minds to address the big issues.

If this keeps up there could be "buyer's remorse" even before he takes office.

We will hope that is not the case.

Re: Changing
As I noted in comments to @DHagar @Ariella, without getting too political here, if Trump can be elected--all bets are off.    The question, again, is one of managing it responsibly.   The verdict is still out--and all of us will be impacted--and that's the scary part.

Re: Changing
If you are referring to Silicon valley @DHagar, possibly--but Trump has some interesting--although eclectic business luminaries supporting him who are in line for potential cabinet appointments.   Without getting too political, change is not easy--but the challenge is to manage the change and transformation responsibly--and unfortunately early indications are not encouraging right now as some of the views will directly impact tech as underscored in this done by the Washington Post:

Re: Changing
@mpouraryan I find it difficult to picture Thiel in a government position. But we'll see what happens.

Re: Changing
@mpouraryan, I agree with you on this.  I am certainly open to the "decisions" that are forthcoming - which will provide direction and determine what/where concerns are valid. 

Great points and assessment of Peter Thiel - although he was the only Trump supporter - but he would be a strong choice.

I believe my biggest concern is less the politics and more the lack of knowledge of technology and the digital transformation.  There is much more involved than tweets and social media; it is an entire economic transformation that is changing where value is created.  If that is not understood, we will miss opportunities.

The picture is an open one so the hopeful position is it will support, along with net neutrality, and stimulate our economy through leading technology policies.

Re: Changing
@mhhf1ve - agreed it needs work.  I am thinking it will get further development - particularly with the use of voice with Smartphones - Siri, etc.

Re: Changing
Maybe it is age--but the idea of the small key board is a challenge--that's why dictating by voice is such a transformational concept--I still like to type--the challenge is actually loads of fun--but the work product not so--still bummed sometimes when I post something, say to instagram :)

Re: Changing
As I look forward to catching up with you all on this over the next day or so, the naming of Peter Thiel is an interesting move as he's  one of the "rumored" picks for Secretary of Commerce.   What is critical, at this stage, is to  keep an open mind--although one thing is for sure:  net neutrality is on the chopping block--and that to me should be of concern to all of us "techies".

> "a possibility - along with voice - eye movements, etc."

Voice transcription needs to have some innovation breakthrough before it can be adopted widely. It sorta works okay for some things, but no one would want to give up a keyboard to try to write software with voice transcription... It's getting better, but 99% accuracy can be annoying. Also, the requirement to speak audibly wouldn't work in a cube farm, either.....
