“ When I wrote The Word is Flat, Facebook did not exist, Twitter was a sound, the Cloud was in the sky, 4G was a parking space, applications were what you sent to college, LinkedIn was a prison, and for most people, Skype was a typo. All of that changed in just the last six years”.
Thomas Friedman
Technology Innovation

“We recognized that one big area of opportunity is how our data can help shape government decisions. With rapid urbanization, infrastructure needs to be efficient. We can help with that. We provide governments with data about where economic activity is happening by state, by region and by market. They find our data is much quicker than their own.”

Government 1.0
Government and the Internet
Too often, we think of government as a kind of vending machine, we put in our taxes, and get out services: roads, bridges, hospitals, fire brigades,
police protection… And when the vending machine doesn’t give us what we want, we protest. Our idea of citizen engagement has somehow been reduced to
shaking the vending machine.

Civic technology is technology (mainly information technology) that enables engagement or participation of the public for good development, enhancing citizen communications, improving government infrastructure, or generally making national
and local governments more effective.

Information and communication technologies are potentially leading to a new generation of digital citizens with a renewed, but fundamentally different, interest in citizenship. If the traditional definition of an engaged citizen is one who votes, reads to stay informed, writes to public officials and attends public meetings, a digital citizen is one who wants to engage with government the same way he or she engages in other aspects of life — electronically, and increasingly through apps on a mobile device.

Young people are using new media to:
We believe the younger generation has a desire to connect, collaborate, and share.

We are aiming for a city that is like the Internet in its openness, participation, distributed nature and rapid, organic evolution-‐ a city that is not centrally operated, but that is created, operated and improved by all.

1. Education and Network: Follow your passion, reach out to people with passions and interests alike. Connect with them, share ideas, collaborate, create. Build networks.
2. Organize and lead: organize and empower leaders so they too can lead and educate others by sharing they own experience and motivate others to follow their passions, collaborate and engage.
3. Technology: Use technology to amplify networks and connect with more people. Track progress and provide feedback in real time.
