Yep, there is a divide between the old people in power who know economics, markets and regulation but have no idea how "technology" works, and the young voters

Yep, there is a divide between the old people in power who know economics, markets and regulation but have no idea how "technology" works, and the young voters who understand the technology, but without an understanding of how the economics work.
- blunte 8y agoI think you're much too generous. You can look at political decisions in most countries and see that politicians don't, on average, understand economics. For that matter, a great many economic theories (which are often presented as facts) don't hold up when tested. In summary, economics is hard. But making something (internet/web) increasingly unusable is just pure ignorance.
- ucaetano 8y ago> I think you're much too generous. Oh, definitely! Those in power don't understand that much of economics, and those voting don't really understand that much of technology.
