Somehow I missed this. I commented to several friends back at the time of the election that I thought it was time for a Cabinet level CTO-like position. With so much of our economy based on technology, and the importance of the internet in business and consumer affairs, it makes sense to me to put technology on the same footing with Agriculture, Defense, Environment, Labor, etc. I’m thrilled to see Obama has taken this step to create the federal chief technology officer. No thoughts on the candidates. I’ll wait to see whom he selects.
