The results of a new survey by the Pew Research Center shows that Americans aren't as enthusiastic as the government when it comes to open access to government data.

Government reformers and advocates believe that two contemporary phenomena hold the potential to change how people engage with governments at all levels. The first is data. There is more of it than ever before and there are more effective tools for sharing it. This creates new service-delivery possibilities for government through use of data that government agencies themselves collect and generate. The second is public desire to make government more responsive, transparent and effective in serving citizens — an impulse driven by tight budgets and declining citizens’ trust in government.

With all the money the government takes in you'd think they have better web sites. Whey do government sites always suck and then cost way more than a private sector... well, I know why, but shit.
 
90% of what government does at all levels federal, state and, local is manage information. If only there was a technology that did it quickly, efficiently and, didn't require you to do it in person. :rolleyes:

Of course, then we'd have to find jobs for a whole lot of people. Hey, maybe that's a good thing. If government had to worry about their own jobs, maybe they'd take the rest of the country seriously. :D
