computers, algorithms and most of it works. They think it's the same world they knew...and don't realize how fast computer technology has changed and how much it affects everything they all do. Their ego has some to do with that, also...not WANTING to know.
Until we can get some Computer Literate Congresscritters...they will be behind the learning curve and easily manipulated by what their "Tech Experts" whether Military or Domestic tell them. What is Diane Feinstein...in her 80's? ...and anyone of that age can have no comprehension of what's going on in our Digital/Tech Age and shouldn't even be on the Senate Intelligence Committee. She's still thinking "Cold War and Spies" like James Bond...
Don't need those kinds of "Boots on the Ground" Spies much anymore, DIFI..
Most of our House and Senate Intelligence Committee members are so out of touch to the real world going on around them, these days, that it's frightening. Most of us over 50 wouldn't be qualified, either to deal with trying to oversee the NSA Spying.
