There's four computer science majors in Congress? That's four more than I would've thought.
- archimedespi 11y agoThere are 8 engineering majors in Congress (all in the House IIRC), which is pretty suprising.
- jonnybgood 11y agoYou'd be surprised. There was even a math major with a masters in computer science who ran for president, Herman Cain.
- natecavanaugh 11y agoHerman Cain is a Comp sci major?! Wow, I really had no idea...
- jlgaddis 11y agoI'm very pleased to discover that there are four but I think we need many, many more if we are to change how our government works. Working in/with technology everyday, we are accustomed to wanting to find technical solutions to all of our problems. Unfortunately, not every problem can be solved with a technical solution. If we are to succeed in changing things, we need people who understand technology in positions of leadership in the government. There are a lot of very, very intelligent people in Silicon Valley and many of you are here on HN. I wish some of you would consider running for office.
