[LINK] Are clueless politicians holding back IT?

[Stilgherrian]

Gentle Linkers,

Generally I don't pimp the stories I write on Link unless the topic  
comes up in conversation and I can say "Oh, yeah, I've already written  
my opinion on that". But this one may be of more direct interest...

Are clueless politicians holding IT back?

Amongst other things, I posit a checklist of things the pollies should  
know about, similar to the checklist I did for business managers last  
year.

“I don’t understand computers” is not an excuse.

Am I being to harsh?

Enjoy!

Or not.
