A Technology Refresher
One of the problems Wisconsin has experienced in implementing advanced technology infrastructure is that even simple mathematical and scientific concepts were not in the curriculum of our leaders’ education (oh, so long ago). In particular, there is one very important mathematical relation which is necessary for all policymakers to grasp, namely, the relation between Money and Work:
1) Work = Power X Time
2) Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have (by substitution):
Work = Knowledge X Money
3) Solving for Money, we have Money = Work/Knowledge
Therefore, as Knowledge approaches zero, the Money required to implement any project becomes infinitely large, and the Work done becomes irrelevant and indeterminate.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more money you will waste, including taxpayer’s money if you are a policymaker or bureaucrat.
