Japan's cyber-security minister has 'never used a computer' - Torwaldson - 11-16-2018
Very funny!!!
Japan's new cyber-security minister has dumbfounded his country by saying he has never used a computer.
Yoshitaka Sakurada made the admission to a committee of lawmakers.
"Since I was 25 years old and independent I have instructed my staff and secretaries. I have never used a computer in my life," he said, according to a translation by the Kyodo news agency.
The 68-year-old was appointed to his post last month.
His duties include overseeing cyber-defence preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Goodness me, overseeing cyber defense without any knowledge of booting up a PC?
Enough said.

If this headline is an accurate TL;DR of the article then it's ridiculous. How can they put someone in such a position with little to no experience?

Hes a minister not a specialist, specialists are instructed by the minister, and those specialists have their teams and so on.
He has to be a good administrator to be appointed to this position.

It makes you wonder how they get appointed to that role.
Logic has It, they'd have some basic knowledge.

Bureaucrats in action. They are the worse. That's unsurprising
