US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton too has confessed that she has been deprived of her Blackberry and called for a need to figure out smarter way of using technology.

"I've been deprived of my Blackberry, so at least during the day," said the former first lady on Wednesday while responding to a question from one of the State Department employees on use of social networking technological tools like Facebook and MySpace in enhancing department's diplomatic efforts and business goals.

Clinton felt the need to figure out a way consistent with security to use these tools that are quite often blocked by the security agencies and secret services.

"There are legitimate concerns about security, but I believe we cannot just take that at face value and stop thinking about it. We've got to figure out how we're going to be smarter about using technology," she argued.

Referring to the controversy surrounding the BlackBerry of US President Barack Obama, she said, "You've followed the concern of the President about having to give up his Blackberry. It is maddening, and we know that, but we have to figure out how consistent with what is the security that we need not everything we want or everything that some people want for us, but what we actually need we can use these."
