While I was at TechTV, I tried to give the executives the inside edge on the way things should work online, but they didn't listen. That's the problem when you deal with executives who don't understand technology. People who don't understand tech tend to run from it-so they end up throwing money at a problem without actually throwing money at solutions, which is the mentality of an executive who's clueless but doesn't want to admit it.
