In the XXI century, with the deepening crisis of the sector paper book, eBooks are gaining ground. It’s not surprising to see how few children study at school with an iPad or anyone reading an ebook on the subway. They have even come to replace texts in their physical formats of the importance of the U.S. Constitution itself.
This has been the case ambassador Suzi LeVine , the new U.S. representative in Switzerland, who was sworn in with his left hand on a Kindle containing a digital copy of the U.S. Constitution.
Thus, the last day June 2 LeVine became the first U.S. ambassador to have sworn 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 in the United States, where lead levels patriotism in our country are somewhat strange, the ambassador to Switzerland has not been the only in sworn front of an electronic device.
Last February, a group of firefighters from New Jersey performed the act of swearing on an edition for iPad Bible , for later upload to Facebook.
no longer seems so far off when we see a prime minister or a head of state sworn to his country on a book address.
