Barack Obama Would Redefine Gov’t Use of Technology
Suggesting that technology should be used to further governmental transparency, presidential candidate Barack Obama explained his plan to appoint a Chief Technology Officer. As detailed on VentureBeat:
The CTO’s mandate would be quite different from the Cybersecurity czar appointed under the Bush Administration. Bush’s czar helped defend against cyberattacks. Obama’s CTO, by contrast, would ensure government officials holds open meetings, broadcast live webcasts of those meetings, and use blogging software, wikis and open comments to communicate policies with Americans, according to the plan.
Government 2.0? Imagine the visibility and accountability. Now imagine trying to explain it all to this guy:
