Given the impact of technology on society, we absolutely can and should blame politicians who are technically illiterate.
- birdman3131 5y agoI don't blame a politician for being not tech savvy. I can and will blame them for not getting (And listening to!) a tech savvy advisor.
- barbazoo 5y agoAnd maybe blame the highly partisan electorate too?
- mindcrime 5y agoI would think it depends on how "tech savvy" we're talking about. It's one thing to ask them to write a UNIX shell in C++, or construct a neural network model... I don't see any reason to demand that level of technical sophistication from a governor. But surely there has to be some baseline level of technological literacy that should be expected, no? Something beyond "push this button and the computer turns on" and "Yes, I checked and it's plugged into the wall"??
