What the Trump win means for tech

Will the president-elect make tech great again? 

By New Statesman

The man who once said  “the cyber is so big” is now the president-elect of the United States.

This, really, is the single most important answer to the question: “What does the Trump win mean for tech?”, as we turn to a man whose entire campaign was about looking backwards to lead us into the future. Though no one knows exactly what is about to happen – and neither Clinton nor Trump focussed extensively on technology in their campaigns – this is what some people are speculating will go down.

It will be a big change from Barack Obama

Whatever Trump does next, it is likely that he won’t be as driven as Barack Obama in forcing through change. We can hope, however, that the Trump administration at least carries on many of Obama’s initiatives, such as the National Broadband Plan, which aims to improve internet access throughout the United States.
