I agree with this, but I read that line as meaning that there needs to be a politician that can communicate a technology focused long-term view of the economy.

I agree with this, but I read that line as meaning that there needs to be a politician that can communicate a technology focused long-term view of the economy. All of the US candidates are using social media effectively to communicate their message, but none of them actually understand technology (witness how they talk about encryption). It would be good to have a politician that could talk about the vision of where the economy is truly going. Sanders' projects that he's telling "the truth" but his vision of rolling back the economy to the good old days is naive. But it's not surprising that a 74 year-old would lean that way. None of this should be surprising because the main way that politicians use technology is to target their voters.
