Google CEO Won’t Become Nation’s First Chief Tech Officer

I ’m kinda disappointed Google CEO Eric Schmidt really wo n’t be the rural area ’s first ever chief technical school officer after all . Despite rumors and ( fairly fairish ) venture he was not - so - subtlycampaigning for the position ( and Obama ) , yesterday he definitively said thathe would n’t take the position if offered : “ I bang working at Google and I ’m very well-chosen to stay at Google , so the answer is no . ” His experience and knowledge of all kinds of tech — he ’s really into green energy , for instance — made him one of my personal favorite pick for the location . And Google mojo is a plug by itself . So who do you want whispering in the president - elect ’s ear about new solar power technologies , the effect of YouPorn HD on our land ’s broadband infrastructure and revamping kid ’ education to make them more prepared in a world that revolves around morsel as much as bullets ?
