This is a good point. At the same time, some of the attorneys I've worked with in tech are wicked smart. It would definitely be good for a more representative set of people to represent citizens in congress (imagine that!), but I think the existing people are smart enough to learn what they need to about the areas that they legislate. The question is whether they take the time to learn, which it looks like they don't.

EDIT: I should clarify that I mean the attorneys I've worked with are smart enough and motivated enough to learn about technical / engineering issues, despite not being engineers.
