Can a politician who claims to "have never sent an email" be considered a serious politician in the internet-connected world we live in?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33171points) March 11th, 2015

Today’s NY Times has an article see link saying that at least three US senators have never used email.

We live in a highly connected society, and email use (and understanding of the internet) would seem to be a sine qua non for understanding how the population of the US (and likely the world) lives in the second decade of the 21st century.

Not using email means, to me, that these Senators are simply out of touch – and to a degree, unqualified to be Senators.

Am I being too harsh?
