Tony Who?

Text Education For Former PM

Tony Blair ain’t the most committed technophile in the country he used to govern. Yes, he has an iPod, but he had to get his daughter to help him use it. Yes, he has an email account – but he’s had it less than a year. Now he has revealed that he’s finally learnt how to send a text message. But he said this weekend that when he sent his first message, the reply that came back was: "Who are you?"

Email Is The Queen's Crowning Glory

Pointing out stories you may have missed: The Queen has her own email account - but she does not actually type her emails herself. She dictates them. The 81-year-old monarch, who also has a mobile phone and an iPod mini, revealed her email address at a recent Buckingham Palace garden party. At the end of a conversation with Elizabeth Saltzman, editor of Vanity Fair, the journalist said: ``We must keep in touch''. What followed was rather unexpected. ``Absolutely,'' agreed the Queen. "Here, let me give you my email address.'' Saltzman, stunned, replied, "Good lord, you use email?" The Queen did not miss a beat. "Oh yes," she continued, "but I don't actually write them - I dictate them all, of course."
