Un título sensacionalista no hagan demasiado caso.

Estaba leyendo un artículo bastante interesante en The Guardian y quería citar algunos fragmentos aquí. Sin comentarios.

The government is planning to link up with the power of consumer and civic movements on the net by offering funding, permitting civil servants to post information on sites, and releasing information currently locked up in Whitehall.

(…)

Explaining the government’s interest, Pat MacFadden, Cabinet Office minister, said: “This is not about technology, but about asking how empowered citizens can drive these services in a way that has not happened before.

“Polling evidence suggests we have a 20-year phenomeon of people becoming ever more demanding of government, yet ever more disengaged.”

“So we in government have to ask how we can help this movement, work with it, and yet not smother it.”

(…)

One ministerial source said: “There is a new mass movement out there, better educated, more demanding, and we have to see if, in a light-touch way, we can help.”

Ministers wake to potential of people power on the net.
