Another major country with pronounced democratic traditions and openness has set up a Government 2.0 task force. They rightly describe the opportunities that current technology provides, The current change in media behavior and habits is again seen as an opportunity not as a threat. The enthusiasm is clearly visible and the charter for the task force is clearly ambitious and could serve as an inspiration to other governments.
Many of the points made resonate strongly with me and I have written about it here and here. I only hope that Singapore also embraces this and does it soon.
I call it the inevitable path, because if people in government don’t wake up, the citizens will find some methods of forcing it to happen.
