Technology isn't special. Politicians are also uneducated on every other industry and area of life. It's just that when they misunderstand technology you notice.

Well I notice it about a couple areas but in a ton of those areas we have specific branches of the executive to deal with the nitty gritty but not really one for technology. Similar in UK where they have white wall ministries to deal with things that parliamentarians should not be expected to have a deep knowledge of.

Presumably you mean "Whitehall", rather than "white wall"?
