From the Government Computing News Article:

The federal government must tap the dynamic functionality of Web 2.0 technology if it is to capture the potential savings from a growing list of low-cost software applications and processing capabilities, federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra, told an industry group today.

Kundra, speaking at the American Council of Technology and Industry Advisory Council’s Management of Change Conference in Norfolk, Va., also stressed the importance of using technology not only to serve citizens, but to tap their ideas for helping to tackle government issues.

“We’ve got to recognize that we can’t treat the American people as subjects but as a co-creator of ideas,” Kundra said. “We need to tap into the vast amounts of knowledge … in communities across the country. The federal government doesn’t have a monopoly on the best ideas,” he said
