E-mail? Communicator? Mobile phone? This is not a royal business ...

Can you imagine today an energetic and active person who lives in a multi-million city, manages a large team, comes to work in a fully computerized office every day, but does not use any e-mail or mobile phone?



There are such people! And you know them ...

On December 12, 2007, Vladimir Putin gave an interview to the American Time magazine , which proclaimed Putin the “Man of 2007”.

QUESTION: You said that a large number of phones in the office of the head is an old image. How technologically advanced you are now: do you use e-mail or Blackbury, do you have your own blog, for example, and so on?



VLADIMIR PUTIN: I am very, very ashamed, but I do not use it at all. I don’t even use the phone: my employees do everything with me. But they do it brilliantly, I really envy them.



And two years ago, at a meeting with the head of the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications of the Russian Federation, Leonid Reiman, the president asked the minister how many mobile phones he had.



“I have one. I try not to confuse the statistics, ”said Reiman.



“I have not one,” Putin complained with a smile.



And what about his colleagues from the most technologically advanced countries in the world?



George Bush, an interview with CNBC in October 2006 :



I try not to send emails, more precisely, I do not just try not to send emails, I never send them at all. Because this is all recorded, and then the president will receive requests ... I do not want to receive an e-mail, because, you see, you will receive an e-mail, and plunge into some story, because I can’t say later: "Well, I have not read this email. ” They will answer me: “But I sent it to your address, how can you say that you did not read it?”. In short, I am very careful about emails.



However, Bush is still not alien to new technologies.



Interviewer (Maria Bartiromo): I am very curious if you ever googled? Do you use google?



George Bush: From time to time. One of the things that I used on Google was that I pulled out maps from there. It is very interesting. I forgot the name of this program, but you have a satellite there, and you can - in short, I can look at my ranch in Google, and it reminds me that I would prefer to be there sometimes ... Yes, I google sometimes.
