Watching the new president, I'm struck by the fact
that he is making almost the identical mistake President Obama made
during his first two years. Trump has picked a major entitlement to hang
his hat on -- the same major entitlement, healthcare -- and shortly
will discover what most CIOs know: You don't mess with anything that
touches everybody.
The likely outcome will be that like Obama, Trump will lose the house
in the next election, and that the Republicans will be forced out of
power over the next four to eight years, all for an avoidable, repeated
mistake.Interestingly, tech has products -- Watson, for example -- that not only could prevent this but also could ensure the success of any administration that chose to use them. By success, I mean success in war, success in peace, success in approval ratings, and success in economic achievement.
However, Watson can't help President Trump for much the same reason it can't help CEOs in general. I'll share my thoughts on why, and why we should fix that, and close with my product of the week: the Ryzen 5, a new processor from AMD that hits the sweet spot for those of us who like to build gaming rigs on a budget.
