Panel: US lags on 'e-Government'

The United States is falling behind other countries in bringing government into the age of the Internet.

“Most people in government generally think of technology as a slice of the pie, only one slice to be considered,” said Andrew Rasiej, the founder of Personal Democracy Media. “They don’t realize that technology is actually the pan that supports all kinds of activities today that’s changing the way people interact with each other … the problem is that government is not part of the conversation and, in some ways, it’s actually trying to fight that.”
