How will Trump's victory affect technology?

A few days after the world reeling with the results of the US elections, it is time to do analysis. The world of technology wonders to what extent the use of networks globally will be affected. When the newly elected American president becomes aware of his position, many things will change.

Ya In the middle of the electoral campaign, it was many managers of technology companies who sounded the alarm. In Silicon Valley, several of the most important technology companies even signed a letter against what Trump intended to establish. 

In the number of rallies and speeches that the newly elected American president has offered to the world references to technology have been conspicuous by their absence. But on more than one occasion he has mentioned some points to take into account. Donald Trump disagrees with a free and open internet. And has openly stated the intention to shut down a part of the internet.

Will the internet and technology notice Trump's arrival?

Is it possible to "close" a part of the internet? Everything that sounds to close seems to be disliked. A large part of Americans have shown since the beginning of the electoral campaign their dissatisfaction with the policies of restricting freedom. The words control or limits are something we are not used to on the Internet. But it seems that soon we will have to get used to it.

However, and although many Americans are not satisfied, you only have to see the electoral result to know that it has a lot of support. The success of his campaign has been in the focus given to the proposals for control measures. The intention of closing part of the internet is to be able to put an end to an easy, accessible and anonymous means of communication. And above all to its use for illegal and dangerous purposes.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the network serves as a contact between terrorists. They have the facility to get in touch with each other without any control being possible. In addition to considering internet one of the most useful tools for gaining followers. And this is something that has convinced generations of Americans tired of hearing news from extremist groups. Now it is "ISIS" that is in the spotlight.

In another aspect, there is something that has also helped him to pocket a number of votes. We refer to the right of intellectual property. Trump claims that there are foreign companies that make money off ideas created in the United States that are exploited abroad. And it ensures that the intellectual property created in North America will leave its income in North America.

Will Trump carry out his threats against Apple?

One thing Donald Trump has done on several occasions is to go directly to the Cupertino company. The disagreements reached their highest point when the now US president encouraged a boycott of Apple. This confrontation arose as a result of the controversy raised with the iPhone of the San Bernardino terrorist found. And Apple's refusal to hand over the code to the FBI for decryption.

In the end the story of the terrorist's iPhone ended so that Apple was not harmed by court order. But his image for the Republican was seriously damaged. As In later rallies Trump again referred to Apple, using it as an example regarding the exit of jobs from America. He was referring to the fact that an American company does not manufacture its products in America.

"We'll have Apple make its damn computers in America".

With these kinds of statements Donald Trump made his intentions clear on more than one occasion. Bringing assembly lines from Asian countries to the United States would be one of its measures. Something that from Apple already declared that it would be completely unfeasible. Besides that It would skyrocket manufacturing costs, and therefore the final price of the product.

The atmosphere at Apple headquarters must be tense. So much so that its CEO Tim Cook sent a letter to his employees when he learned the electoral result. In the statement he urged his employees to stick together and keep working. Will Donald Trump be able to force Apple to manufacture its products in the United States?. Although it may seem unlikely, the outcome of the elections was even more so. So nothing can surprise us anymore.
