Innovation and Technology for Govt. Solutions

Reviewing the technology and process used by Local/State Government feels like we are still in 90's. I believe applying the latest trends and innovative technology (like cloud computing, Web 2.0/3.0, etc..) to the Govt. will increase the service and performance of the country bringing a phenomenal change in the way we live our lives today.

With the new president encouraging huge budget for healthcare and technology, no wonder we will see many changes in the way the information is changed, like having the CMS and all the State Medicaid system residing on a single private cloud and sharing information and services across the network. This type of infrastructure change will allow to cut down millions of tax dollars spent on a single system rather then all the state systems. Also imagine getting twitter updates, videos, and building network connecting everyone within a system.

I am glad to see few have already taken initiatives envisioning the change I see.
