This is what you get when you have a Congress that is basically brainless on technology, and government who can only pick from a few old, stodgy contractors, says Clay Johnson of the Department of Better Technology. I can tell you from watching the hearing yesterday that, from a technologist point of view, both the questions from Congress were sort of absurd and not particularly helpful, and the answers from the contractors were also just demonstrably ignorant of the technology that they were managing, Johnson says. It was this really baffling set of exchanges. It’s like watching my one-year-old argue with my cat.
