Week 1 Discussion Thread 1

The use of technology by government is often proposed as a cure-all – something that can make government more effective, efficient and improve relationships with important external stakeholders, such as citizens. In your own experience, is such transformation occurring? Why or Why not?

Week 1 Discussion Thread 2

Based upon the readings this week, please explain two ways government use of technology is suggested to be beneficial. In providing this explanation, please be sure to explain why these benefits are reasoned to occur. In other words, dont just carefully explain the benefit, but also be sure to explain why this benefit is said to occur.
