It’s 2017! Computers are a huge part of our lives. It’s almost impossible to get by without using one. However, our President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t know shit about computers, which is just one more reason that we elected the wrong man.
Unfortunately, computers get hacked every day. We found out recently that Russia may have hacked election systems. Trump keeps denying that this happened. I guess he doesn’t care since he won the election. This week, he plans to meet with intelligence officials to discuss this. He said we need “to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge.”
At his New Year’s Eve party, Trump said:
“You know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way. Because I’ll tell you what: No computer is safe.”
Yes, computers aren’t always safe; however, we can’t just get rid of them completely. Also, he still seems to think Twitter is safe. Just hours after Trump said this, his press secretary tweeted that Trump will still be tweeting after he takes office. He will use it to make “important policy announcements.” He thinks computers aren’t safe, but he wants to use Twitter for important announcements? He is such a freaking hypocrite.
Trump also said:
“I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on.”
Does this mean he doesn’t want to know what’s going on? He doesn’t want everyone to be informed? Maybe he just wants people to not be able to fact-check his lies.
Our President should be up to date on these technologies. This is how the world communicates. This is how we do things. He should learn more about cyber security and how hacking happens. His team should know how to protect our important information.
