Novel and Noble were Enemies of Olde too, but such is Progress

"The Public Accounts Committee has long maintained that technology can transform the way government delivers public services. Without a more strategic approach from the center, and a sourcing strategy that is fit for purpose for the digital age, the government risks wasting more money and squandering the opportunity to modernize the public sector."

Those two short sentences reveal the fundamental essence of the continued guaranteed serial failure which will blight governments, both home and away, friendly and hostile, as technology marches on to transform everything.

Centralised ministerial government personnel tasked with ensuring maintenance and retention of established historical command and control protocols/levers/taxing measures are a crooked fit in a new digital age which has leading prime technology and technologists recognising and able to advertise and present wasteful squandering applications/projects/programs just as soon as government sources unfit as free agents of radical change for a brave new universatile digital age venture forth into the public domain with announcements of such proposals as may primarily be designed to reinforce the status quo

You may like to consider that now it is best to accept that technology is into transforming public services which deliver government rather than government delivering public services.

What Joe Biden should have said, rather than reading out the few sentences shared above, in order for his farewell address to the US to have been a true reflection of the current state of present affairs is ..... “Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. But the propaganda is crumbling. Errors are appearing. Social media is giving up the facts and evidencing the acts.”
