MADRID (Portaltic / EP). In the XXI century and the deepening crisis of the book trade in paper, electronic books are gaining ground and is no longer strange to see how some children studying in the school with an iPad or anyone reading an ‘ebook’ in the subway. It has even come to replace texts in their physical formats of the importance of the U.S. Constitution itself.
This has been the case of the ambassador Suzi LeVine, the new U.S. representative in Switzerland, who was sworn position with the left hand on a Kindle containing a digital copy of the U.S. Constitution.In this way, the last day June 2 LeVine became the first U.S. ambassador to have jury on an electronic device, as claimed from the profile of the U.S. embassy in London on Twitter.
Any diplomatic post in the world requires the oath to the Constitution of each country and the United States, where they have the patriotism in our country levels are somewhat strange, Ambassador in Switzerland has not been the only sworn front of an electronic device.
Last February, a group of firefighters in New Jersey performed the act of swearing on an iPad edition of the Bible, and later they upload to Facebook.
I do not seem so far off when we see a prime minister or a head of state sworn into office before his country on an eBook.
