The President's job is to be involved in the world. The internet is a HUGE part of what's going on in the world. At this point, it would practically be like having a President who said he doesn't know how to use a telephone.

I am sure Alex will correct me here if I am wrong but didn't Truman not know how to use a telephone?

How about a better analogy: A President that doesn't know how to read a newspaper.

I think the telephone analogy fits as well. In this age, not knowing how to use the internet, or a computer shows how out of touch with reality one is. He doesn't need to know how to program a website, but he should know how to access email, the media and do basic web searches.

I got the wrong President

It was Eisenhower, not Truman, who didn't know how to use a telephone(Ike came in after Truman so that's even worse when you think about it).

I think he did ok for some old guy who never placed a phone call while in office.

Really, this whole internet thing is beyond silly......it's not like John can't bowl or anything
