Techies tend to be sidelined in key decision-making and are disconnected from the management mainstream. In effect, low-tech managers are forcing the UK economy into a low tech equilibrium.

This really pisses me off. I see this so often and hear, anecdotally from those techies, of idiotic management decisions spending orders of magnitude too much on pissy projects, and pennies on mission criticals.

I agree about the IT literacy tests. Especially in the 'jobs for life' UK Civil Service.
