Barack Obama's presidency could spell major changes for the technology industry after years of limited White House attention.

According to Ed Black, president and chief executive of the Computer and Communications Industry Association, Tuesday's election outcome is good news for technology companies since the Obama camp has many tech-savvy advisers who understand the sector and its users.
