Your city council is debating implementing a service that would allow residents to access a wide variety of municipal and school services from their home computers for the 40% of residents that own home computers. Do you urge the city council members to vote yes or no?
I would urge the council to vote yest on implementing this service. Sure everyone would not be represented initially, but the hope would be that this program would be successful and could spread to other geographies and income brackets. The innovation of technology should not be held back based on political reasons. I agree with one of my classmates that this might cause unfair advantages for first access to building permits or gymnastics enrollment. This problem can be avoided by having a preregistration for non-service based citizens or other ideas. We can't let old tech keep us from going forward due to socially sensitive topics. If we did, everyone would lose.
