La Flecha refers to the study "Internet and Economic Promotion: projects of which to learn and to be inspired" carried out by David Boronat published in Propolis and on which turned his communication in the 8th Club TAO.
From Propolis: A través de este estudio, David Boronat , Socio Fundador de Multiplica, nos muestra como los Ayuntamiento españoles suspenden en Internet en el ámbito de la Promoción económica. De entre ellos tan solo podemos salvar las iniciativas de los Ayuntamientos de Barcelona, Madrid y A coruña.
Resultado del análisis de las presencias online en este ámbito, de los 20 principales ayuntamientos de España, el estudio analiza 31 variables agrupadas en 4 categorías: Propuesta de valor, Marketing, Experiencia de usuario y Atención al ciudadano.
Con más de 30 ejemplos y buenas prácticas de todo el mundo sobre qué se puede hacer para fomentar el impulso de tu territorio, y aportar valor al usuario, David Boronat nos da una visión global de lo que sucede en el mundo guiándonos a través de 20 puntos a partir de los cuales mejorar nuestras presencias online.

Days ago I made reference to a concept "ubiquitous city", today we are going to take a step more and I go to speak about "ubiquitous computing"
Promoters of this idea hope that embedding computation into the environment would enable people to move around and interact with computers more naturally than they currently do
The Chips generation which they work as a tags electronic, storing all type of information and that they work under an operating system in real time, allows, like is being made already, the creation of a city in which the information is in all the sites. So and as we can read in Windley's Technometria:
Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is spearheading the testing of the UID Center's Autonomous Movement Support Project. Electronic tags embedded in pavement stones and street furniture will supply users with location-specific information "anytime, anywhere, to anyone." In the cities of Kobe and Tsuwano, hundreds of electronic tags and road sensors have been embedded in the pavement, sidewalks, and street furniture, providing information to tourists about historical sites and to wheelchair users about obstacles.
The name of the creature is "T-engine":
o T-Engine is an open, standardized real-time operating system development environment for constructing a ubiquitous computing environment.
o T-Engine incorporates the eTRON security architecture which enables the development of application systems with strong network security.
o The T-Engine Project standardizes the hardware, a real-time operating system, and the object format specifications to enable the smooth distrubtion of middleware.
o By using the abundant middleware available for T-Engine, the development time and cost can be greatly reduced.
All this is the result of an organization "T-engine Forum", supported by the government Japanese and of that at the moment already they are more than 450 members, counting all the greater companies high tech of Japan. Evidently it has his retorts in Korea with KTEC(Korea T-Engine Center) or in Singapore with T-Engine Application Development Centre (TEADEC).
And if all this we joined it with a territorial information system? Will be the Killer app of e-Government? Remember wich I wrote months ago...
I have read which killer app of the Web will be the applications of geoposicionamiento, that is to say, solutions of territorial information. Simultaneously that the www has been the one of Internet. You can read it, good, rather listen to it in IT conversations...
More information in Ubicomp'05,in Wikipedia or in Jan Krikke's article "T-Engine: Japan’s Ubiquitous Computing Architecture Is Ready for Prime Time".

Of course we can not say that in subjects of e-Government, Europe is stopped...
GUIDE is conducting research and technological development with the aim of creating an architecture for secure and interoperable e-government electronic identity services and transactions for Europe . The project's approach is multi-disciplinary and includes technology, procedural and policy development across Europe . GUIDE consists of 23 organisations from 13 countries. GUIDE's vision is to enable Europe to become the global leader of e-government services through the creation of an open architecture for identity authentication.
The European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, has started a series of measures to support the creation of comprehensive eGovernment services across all levels of the Union. The "Good Practice Framework" (GPF) is a centrepiece in this strategy.
The main objectives of this Good Practice Framework are:
- to collect examples of well-defined eGovernment cases
- to make the examples available for those involved in eGovernment by means of an intelligent knowledge database
- to offer expert know-how on general or special eGovernment features and providing easy access to existing communities or expertise centres
- to support the sustainable transfer of good practices and learning experiences in an easy and helpful way.
Breaking Barriers to e-Government. The European Commission is funding a three year project to investigate the legal, organisational, technological and other barriers to expanding effective e-Government services using the Internet. The study will identify and explore key issues that can constrain e-Government growth, drawing on real-life case studies. This rich data source will be analysed to define possible initiatives at a European level to overcome such obstacles, including best practice recommendations.
The project is led by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), a multidisciplinary department at the University of Oxford studying the Internet and society. Its project partners are:
- gov3, a leading UK-based e-Government consultancy;
- TILT, the University of Tilburg (Netherlands)
- CRID, the Research Centre for Computer and Law of the University of Namur (Belgium)
- and the University of Murcia (Spain).
eGovernment in the Member States of the European Union. This report is the compilation of the country Factsheets prepared by the IDABC eGovernment Observatory. As part of its mission to inform the European e-government community about key issues of common interest, the eGovernment Observatory maintains a series of Factsheets presenting the situation and progress of e-government in each Member State of the EU, providing for each one of them a wide and consistent range of information...

It well knows the capacity of sms to call people. It already remained proved with the mobilizations of March 11th and more recently with the demonstration supporting the marriages of gay and lesbian.
There are many political organizations that use sms to communicate with its partisans and day by day there are more public administrations that use messaging in order to establish new channels of communications with its administered.
And the governments what? These also start to use this way as we can see in Indonesia, where the president uses the sms to send messages to specific groups or to receive complaints from his citizens. You can read about it in the article "Governing via text messaging" published in "Jakarta Post" Quite good, isn't it? Here you have a sample of the messages that the president of Indonesia sends:
Civil Servants: STOP MEETING. Stop lengthy and pointless meetings now. Let us have an efficient public service that actually serves the public.
Illegal DVD vendors at Ratu Plaza: STOP PIRACY. Stop selling pirated DVDs. Let us have a nation where the expatriates do not know where to buy illegal DVDs.
Public transportation drivers: STOP STOPPING. Just stop stopping in the middle of the road. Let us have a nation where public transportation vehicles actually stop where they are supposed to -- by the side of the road.
Tax Department: STOP SHAKING DOWN TAXPAYERS. Stop finding gray areas of the law with which to extort honest taxpayers. Let us collect some tax from the tax avoiders instead.
Customs and other law-enforcement agencies: STOP TAKING BRIBES. Stop taking bribes this very minute. Let us, for a change, be protected by you guys rather than be a victim of your rapacity.
Traffic police: STOP STOPPING. Stop stopping cars for minor infringements so you can ask for bribes. Let us have instead a nation of smooth traffic because of the strict enforcement of road laws.
Politicians: STOP NATO. Stop preening and grandstanding now. Let us have a House where its members represent the interests of the electorate rather than their egos and wallets.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend 2ond electronic signature seminar, it was organized by CATCERT in Barcelona. In addition I had the great pleasure to met two bloggers that I read since a time ago. Josep Mª Reniu publishes e-vote and e-democracy and Jordi Barrat writes on e-votings blog.
I only want to to highlight two things of the days like conclusion. The first that so that there is an introduction and acceptance on the part of the citizens so much of systems of safety, electronic vote and others is necessary a cultural change and therefore we wait for the generation change. And second, the catering. It was really good!

Good, the doubt has cleared up. We already know that city will lodge the Olympic Games of the 2012. It will be London, and they have not been made wait for the reactions about this. Undoubtedly that an event of this type will mean an impulse to the introduction of a series of technologies that up to this moment seemed to be stopped. And everything because they will be able to seek protection in subjects of national safety and of image of face to the rest of the world.
I explain myself, as it can be read in Public Technology the cards of identification for the thousands of being implicated in the games will not be sufficient, therefore it will be the definite impulse to the ID cards with the inclusion of biometrical data, done that it was the origin of the controversy. Here in Spain although it seems to be that from the year that comes we will start to have it in our hands, in it the data that already appear will only figure in the current card.
On the other hand a clear impulse to the infrastructures so that the hour of the truth arrived everything works, as it has to work.
We go that the investment that is foreseen is not at all contemptible. Let's expect to make it adequately and not to comply with the expectations of
"Say No to London 2012"

Yesterday I wrote about London, the Olympic games and the new necessities that will be created in the next years on the subject of new technologies in the public administration, as you can read in "e-Government for London 2012". Today, during the morning, we all have found out about something that has succeeded in London and that here in Spain is us quite a lot known, for having been suffering it for years.
The terrorist attacks do not have any type of justification and if yesterday it|he wrote that with the excuse of the safety they would end up implanting the ID cards with biometrical data, I can today tell you, that the controversy sparked off in many sectors will probably stop existing as such. We can read about this in New World Odour:
“Whether these explosions were caused by bombs, terrorismists, communist dictators, weapons of mass destruction or a leaking gas main, we’re confident our proposed ID card system would have prevented it. We are also confident that if there hadn’t even been any explosions today, we would have our ID scheme to thank.”
Good, I only want to give my support from here to all the affected ones, that insurance that will be hundreds (among direct and indirect), and to expect these to be the less possible ones... And as you can already see in Technorati the bloggers that are done echo of the news are thousands...

Today to rest a little we are going to open the mind towards another side. Through Fernando I recover a chain of Mario, that in his own words:
BookMeme 123.5 is a magnificent idea for busy bloggers. These are the original instructions - people have risen variable later - to carry out the exercise: 1) He/She pulls the arm and catches the nearest book that you find; 2) Open it for the page 123; 3) he/she looks for the 5th line... and 4) poles what you find, together with these instructions
The book that had more by hand is "How the life goes?" of Andreu Buenafuente:
"D'angelets. De color terra. És una opció més."
"De angelitos. De color tierra. Es una opción más."
"Of tiny angels. Of earth color. It is one more option."
"D'anges petits. De la couleur terre. Il est une option de plus."
What's your result?

The associative tissue is the cornerstone of any society in network. Revising the notes that I took during the day of e-Governance carried out by the Generalitat of Catalonia last month of June and seeing that the material of the communications is already available (here) I have found something quite interesting that had remained put away in a corner of the memory...
Marta Continente, Chief Operating Officer of Citizen Attention of the Generalitat of Catalonia, talked about the importance that the social networks will have in the strategy of approach of the administration with the citizen, in her communication "Government and Citizenship: the new gencat.net". But not only she, also Noshir Contractor in his communication "Social Networks and Local Governments" talked about the importance of basing the administration-citizen relationship on the construction of social networks as base element on which to build the future public administration.
It is a change in the relational model; it is intended to assimilate the "social networking" through the implementation of tools of "social software" as blogs, wikis and others... Interesting, interesting.... I talked some months ago about this subject already relating it to the concepts of "social capital" and with the "game theory"
Referred to the project e-Cataluña you can see some references of the blogosphere...
La Generalitat quiere crear una e-Catalunya a base de redes sociales
La innovación exige generar redes sociales de investigadores, empresas y financiadores

You, already, can download yourselves from Propolis the article that I have written based on the material that I used for the communication in the Internet Gobal Congress. According to Propolis:
Carlos Guadián exposes in his article "Blogs in the e-Administration and the diffusion of the knowledge on e-Government" the advantages in the use of blogs, especially concerning the e-Government.
Guadián highlights the easy use of the tool and the affordable and dynamic that is for the citizen, as well as the possibility that it offers of categorizing and unionizing the contents and the easiness in the production of feedback. For the author, there are four areas that the attractive blogs do for the public administration: the diffusion of information, the promotion of the participation, the taxation of an activity (or tracking of a project) and the generation of a map of interrelation or social network.
Blogs offer some advantages in front of other tools as lists of distribution or newsletters, which come given because they facilitate the reception of information, for the tone that they use, more informal, and for the opportunity of carrying out trackbacks.
Guadián also exposes a possible current classification of blogs, according to the speaker as well as of the included subject.
At all times, he offers great quantity of examples and links to enrich the speech.

Cartography has always been strategic information. The good knowledge of a territory through the graphic representation of it has helped obtain strategic interests. And I do not refer only to military goals. The maps and the cartography has been subject of study since always and have as inheritance real works of art. If you want to give you a historical turn to visit Map History, you will find links really interesting.
These days I have been in A Coruña where the International Cartographic Conference 2005 has been celebrated. Many subjects have been touched, as the development that the Geographical Information Systems are having in the public management, they are every time more important to manage a territory. Control of the traffic, property register, inventory of street furniture, location of services, representation of the net of transports and one long et cetera, are the subjects that have been treated, among others, in this congress.
It is indubitable that nowadays any public administration, appointed to a territory, needs powerful management tools territorial (Geographical Information Systems) to be able to offer the citizen a more effective and more efficient service. If we take that the technology already puts availably of the citizen into account of on foot tools as Google Earth with the one that we can blow up literally for the world, and that services of transports have applications even in three dimensions, as that of TMB (Metropolitan Transports of Barcelona), to be able to calculate ways, it is clearing that the GIS will be a key piece on e-Government. How they say in the area of territory of TAO-gedas "everything has a place".

The people that represent us, the people that manage our resources, the people in whom we deposit our confidence answer in a very low percentage the e-mails that they receive. The parliamentary group that more answers, as you can be read in Ciberp@is July 14th 2005, the e-mails that they receive, makes it only by 37,5%:
CiU is the group that more answers to e-mail (37,5%) and PNV the that less (7,1%) - Rajoy does not have mailbox - Moratinos, out of service
They claim is for working overload, but on the other hand, for what leave to make out either they receive too many... Thus, how they want to keep us our political commitment?

As a result of having read an article in Baquía about Digital Darwinism minted by Evan Schwartz , I realize that the evolutionary process of the society obliges us to adapting to the new characteristics of our environment.
CiberSociety, obliges us as citizens, as administration, as government to carry out a series of changes to survive. The Digital Divide transfers a situation of disadvantage that has always existed to this new society. The Digerati as erudite class are rising up, the cities also change and they configure itself according to the needs for its citizens, rising the concept of Ubiquitous City.
And the Public Administration does time that has realized in the group this change for what all want to be of the e-Administration, concept that does not do only references to the application of the ICT, but to one all that it comprises organizational changes and cultural. e-Government is behaviour, to be, is order to adapt to the Information Society..

Big Brother is Watching You. It is the sentence with which 1984 can be summarized.
In his classic novel, 1984, George Orwell described a totalitarian society in which the government, referred to as the Party, had almost complete control over the people. The supreme ruler of the Party was Big Brother. Posters announced that "Big Brother is Watching You". Telescreens, which could not be turned off, droned endlessly with brainwashing propaganda about wondrous government programs. Coins, stamps, books, films, and banners proclaimed the three slogans of the Party: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
We want to arrive to that situation? We have another way?
The psychosis caused by the series of attacks of Al-Qaeda in London or the most recent in Egypt is extending for the entire world. In New York the bags are registered before entering in the subway, London is a city in state of siege and in the rest of the world every type of emergency and security plans have been activated, or simply have been filled with eyes, as in Barcelona. Of this situation use is being made by the legislators most favourable to increase the measures of police control on the population, since increasing the security is increased by the control, but and the freedom? In United States a proposal in which the majority of extraordinary norms of security (as that of being able to intercept communications without judicial authorization) approved exceptionally as a result of the attacks of the towers, pass to be considered of normal character has been carried out. In the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, now, he has excuse to be able to implement the digital ID card with data biometrical, as in USA some months ago, but will it work?
The society in which we live is imperfect, that we all know. But we also have to have the right to being able to choose, to make a mistake. During these years that the "world campaign against the terrorism" is going on, the results have not been too flattering. In the same way it is that we have to change strategy to fight the Islamic fundamentalism. Probably the problem we have it because from a beginning we set off of a conception different to the problem. What for us is a question of security and of direct attack against our system of life. For them it is a holy war in which, what do is to answer to the rough handling that is suffering the third world, more precisely the Arab world. But it can also be that those groups are turning into the liberators of a cause. A cause that is only an excuse to impose their way of fighting because of something. That fanaticism, and belief in an absolute truth it does them to be intolerable with the rest of beliefs and opinions and as child that it does not have more than the right of fit of ill temper, the terrorism is their way of proving their disagreement.
Although it can be said that the goal of the terrorists has been obtained, they have sown the terror between thousands and thousands of citizens, put in alert many governments and plans of security, with the consequent economic expense. But especially with the created insecurity, they favor more extreme reactions. This radicalization in the mode of behaviour of west still gives more legitimacy to what they are making. An end cannot survive without his opposed, for with it it's having its justified existence.
Therefore, we do not have to arrive to the extremism and have to arrive to the situation that precisely they aim for. I do not want a society as that of "Minority Report" in which the administration knows everything, up to what it is going to pass. It is so pro-active that it acts before that the things happen, and consequently, the logical errors being produced.
We do not act as this a fight among cultural worlds, we do not try to defend ways of life to death, because we cannot. The cultural differences come from the isolation of the people and of their different evolutionary paths. In a world globalized, inter-connected and in which the distances have been reduced considerably, as we intend that not have mixtures and cultural influences. Until now we were adjacent, but we share flat from now on. The communal life is difficult, we do not have the clear norms and nobody wants to be sent by anybody. But we will have to learn to make it if we want to live...
All in all Security vs. Freedom
It is a clear problem of interoperability. Independent systems, every one trying to maintain its territory and without communication with the other one. All trying to preserve their identity. It has to be done that they are connected, that that they communicate and that that they work joint. As in the administration... Or not?

From the Anglo-Saxon cyberspace and especially of the blogosphere the syndication of news or RSS as channel of information, unmistakable "

", arrives us.
Already does a time that is starting to be used in and-administration and e-Government, as tool in order to reach information to the citizen. In Spain already the public sites that have implemented it as the Ministry of Industry, the Generalitat of Catalonia or the Town Council of Blanes. In the international area the examples that we can find as the place of the First French Minister, the New Zealand Government or all those that there are referenced in RSS in Government, where also you will be able to find information on the subject.
It is a clean channel (there is not spam), the receiver is subscribed to the desired contents and, the most important thing, when there is an update arrives automatically to the reader of feeds, besides it facilitates a lot the task to the issuer since its contents are only received by the interested group. With regard to its application you can read one post of Read/Write Web, RSS in New Zealand E-Government... Other interesting post is "RSS on government websites- a business case" in Tom 2.0.

British government has very clear that, as I wrote some days ago, to improve it has to be innovated, good, to be adapted to a new reality, and is more, the goal has to be to be able to make it at the same speed that the things change. I focus, in United Kingdom made aware of this reality have a program to favor the innovation in the local administration.
e-Innovations is developed in two stages being in charge of different areas of performance as:
E-Learning, Bridging the Digital Divide, Emergent technology for better government, Local authority e-business, Better use of ICT to improve internal business in councils, including service planning and performance management.
It is a good practice to incorporate in a database and to catch it for a benchmarking,

Study of needs, business process reengineering, change management, interoperability, accessibility, usability, connectivity and whatever you want. An e-Government program can be designed and implemented adequately, effective and efficiently but if we do not make the citizen know the services that set to their arrangement... The only thing that we will have made will have been to spend the money of the contributor.
It is so important or more to publicize what is put within reach of the hand of the citizen, it is important to do it to realize the advantages that will obtain using that new service, it is important that they see utility for themselves. Therefore, a good campaign of marketing is so many or more important that a good process of consultancy, the political leadership or the collaboration of the public workers.
How to arrive to the person that does usually not use the digital means? Television, radius, press, mouth-ear... Any media out of the net is good to bring the people to the net.
It to be informed a little more about the subject:

- "Marketing e-Government to a sceptical public" in IT World Canada

The town council of Palma de Mallorca "Cort", has started to use space technology to improve the management. Pedro Álvarez alderman of the area of exchequer and third deputy mayor is the instigator of all the process of modernization that the Balearic municipality is submitting to.
The recruitment of a satellite service to be able to update constantly the urbanistic database is the innovative initiative, which will replace what up to these moments was carried out with flights on the municipal territory with the consequent risk for all of them. They are several the advantages of this service but the economic saving, the elimination of risks and the constant updating already are reasons more that sufficient to justify it. Although only for the results obtained with this initiative, the admission of 1.5 million euros for urbanistic irregularities detected already is worthwhile.
We have to learn to look from the stars and to start to get used we can use "Google earth" or the most recent application of Microsoft "visual earth".
The information systems territorial every time they are more important, we do not forget them...

I am preparing the knapsack, this same late I go out bound for Lima. I do not go for professional reason but for holidays. We are going to make a route for lands Incas.
Only to do mouth to comment that does little the "Peruvian digital agenda" was presented and on the 18th it is celebrated the " I seminar of I generate and information technology, communication for the society" and as not to name to the members of the RSI Peru, that you have risen of the "e-Government network" and that carry out an important work of diffusion and impulsion of the TIC in their country...
Good month of August and even the turn...

Peru is really a rich country in culture and people. And as not, to say that the extension of callcenters and cibercafés is really important. Oneself can find points of connection almost in any place, including the remotest hamlets, as the situated one whole of the Colqa canyon at feet of the Cross of the Condor, which has connection via satellite. The prices are affordable and the use is quite wide, especially between students and young people. I can imagine that the prices of the computers and the connections at home already are not it so much, this is the cause of the existence of this type of infrastructure.
In the area of electronic administration, way for going still remains them, but am sure that in it they will be able to find the necessary tools to give impulse to the development that is so desired and especially to eliminate those bad practices that give each other the most usual thing when the measures of control are not.
At the moment, they are already preparing the next political campaign for the 2006, where the president Toledo will have to confirm his election in the face of a new reappearance of "Fujimori"... The case is that the main platform of diffusion they are the walls of the houses or the cross walls of the estates that are on foot of road, indicating the ones Peruvian citizens overwhelmed as they have to mark their ballot paper through graffiti fowl and painted.
Very few train infrastructure and in power of foreign companies as "orient express" or Telefónica that wins the Peruvian telecommunications, work lacks and abundant protests as that of the university heads of department or the nurses of the service of health, a macro city with important problems of citizen security as it is it Lima and a great rural dispersion with economics of survival mark a country that Inca of the Andean high plateau has inherited the culture. They have very in account the tourism, know that it is a very important source of income together with the exchanges of the immigration, but even that an effective distribution of the wealth materialized in services and infrastructures will not be able to reach the standards of living of the developed countries. At least for the majority of the population, since the concentration of the wealth is in very few hands and the predominant average class in the European countries, in Peru it is almost non-existent.
From here all my support to all those professionals that try to improve the living conditions of their own country. Of their tenacity and eagerness for improvement we have to learn to improve our activity of towards us and especially towards them.
Further on I will talk to you about two social models that I could observe in two islands of the Titicaca lake. Precisely on as they are organized in Amantaní and Taquile. Community systems in isolated territories but with very different results... And of course also of a puneño film, "The miracle of the Kharisiri" faithful photographs of the situation in which the population in which it lives is in Puno and surroundings.

Step by step conscience of the importance that a tool as the blog has for the political life and of the administration of any country keeps being acquired.
In Europe to inaugurate the new site of the
European Parliament
a series of conferences are held to discuss on the role of the blog in the public administration (from QualityBuzz and ConversationBlog). In another continent, the American one, the most important newspaper of Colombia,

A thing that has surprised me in Peru is the popular use of tin roofs to cover the houses, what paradoxically almost all are made of adobe. A strange combination. Whereas the use of a craft and traditional material as it is the adobe is cheap and affordable for all that one that is lifted a house, the use of a foreign material totally to the culture site as the metal sheet, for the roofs and doors, also complies the same requirements. It is made strange observe two materials that are so different joined in almost indisputable couple in the constructions of the Peruvian Andean high plateau.
This duality only breaks as one approaches Cusco, I can imagine that as one approaches the archeological capital of South America the image takes more importance and the use of the tile as substitute of the metal sheet must be favored. I can not say that in view of these roofs it has the impression of seeing comfortable houses, rather on the contrary. I have the sensation that in winter, in period of rains there will be leaks and that in summer that roof will convert them in real ovens. But maybe I make a mistake, since in all the places in those that we lodge ourselves we made it of nice way. Sometimes it does not have to be let take only for the esthetics. Another thing that favors this statement is that most of the houses are of ground floor or at the most they have a flat of height, but almost in all the impression of being unfinished buildings is present. This is due to they leaving to stand out the rods of the one encored above the constructions for whether in a future they have to keep adding flats above. Therefore it is not a sign of thing to means to do but of forecast.
These tin roofs that in another country as Morocco would be covered of seas of satellite dishes, in Peru are deserted. The reception of the signal for normal aerial or cable is the solution most accepted by those that have a television set in their home. A so impressed population is not, therefore, for what it appears in the "window", especially in the rural areas, where there are places totally virgins in this sense. Places as Amantaní where there are not asphaltic streets, self-propelled or simply electrical devices as washing machines, television sets or fridges. Because for this the need for use of technology will be accordant with the characteristics of the place. Every place has its own technological needs.
Anyway, that dispersed population does not represent more of 45% of the Peruvian total. More of the half cohabit in the great urban block that means Lima. This way the idea that one does not get to be somebody unless it lives in the capital, land of opportunities and only place is reproduced once more where one can progress ¿¿¿ Sure ??? This fact that it has been repeated in the moment in that a society is giving the evolutionary step of being an economy tertiary to pass to a secondary, that is, of basing all the economy on activities of generation of raw materials to be those who transform them. This idea disappears when we pass to be a society of services or of primary sector. It is more, in this stage the need to be refound with the nature again reappears and every time are more those that now carry out the transfer but to the inverse one. Of the city to the field, in search of that quality of life lost in the fast rhythm of life of a great city.
That it sees all these contrasts make out me that the evolution of the population and in its way of life is much faster than the one that the organizations and statutory agencies experience. The institutional and administrative rigidity is fort and its rejection to the great change, in many cases for which it interests them to keep maintaining a system of interests and in others simply for ignorance of the profits that of the use of the TIC can obtain.
For this type of cases the adoption of mixed techniques, as it does the people as she uses the adobe and the metal sheet, to obtain something that is adapted to their needs is the best solution. The introduction of systems based on the management of the knowledge, the territorial use of information systems or the implementation of managers of reports can help transform at the same speed as its population and therefore answer adequately for its needs. The derived increase of efficiency and efficiency of the administrative transparency due to the increase of the tools of taxation and to the store of responsibilities facilitates a better management. Because for all this I want an administration that is built with the solidity of the adobe, which will maintain better the temperature of the house and which will keep giving use to the people of the place. But I also want an administration that uses the metal sheet as roof, material easy to be used and affordable for everybody. We have to be open to the innovation to improve, but not that's why we have to forget those advantages that only for having a time are considered obsolete. Therefore I do not want an administration that only is let take for the esthetics, I want an administration that works and that uses what has to use, when it has to use it.

A couple of days ago I commented you that the role of the blog every time is taken more into account in front to the e-Government. Andy Budd writes one interesting post in Blogography "Blogging in Government" where he talks about a session that he attended as lecturer with the members of "government e-communications network". I agree with his point of view.
I also see a heap of possibilities for developing the role of Blogs in e-government.
"I personally don’t expect to see a rush of publicly facing weblogs in the near future for organisational culture reasons. However I do think the seed has been planted and as the internal culture starts to change over the next few years I see the potential for some very interesting and useful weblogs to develop"

Imagining that you are a political candidate in next elections, which that you are in one of the countries most developed of the world and with one of the greatest rates of penetration of Internet but which you have to make your powerless election campaign use new technologies. That is, there can not be web pages, weblogs, mailing list, etc. It would really be paradoxical, it isn't? Then it we could ask to Takafumi Horie, who according to "la flecha" himself sees obliged to doing the campaign to the traditional way since:
An electoral law of five decades of antiquity forbids the candidates the use of visual images that can arrive to an enormous and not specified number of people, which it is interpreted that that includes the campaigns in Internet. (from La Flecha "Star of Japanese Internet does traditional election campaign")
Right totally the opposite to what happens in a country quite different and moved away as it is Mexico. They are registering an excessive increase in the expenses of publicity of campaign, but on a whole remarkable increase of the presence in the net as platform of diffusion. Arturo Montiel or Roberto Madrazo pre-candidates of the PRI know about the subject! (from alt1040 "Montiel en el Universal")

Technological advance and the citizen capacity to adapt to Information Society give us
new keys to improve in e-government
.
We've spoken sometimes about multiple posibilities that a mobile phone offer us. Citizen participation, politic egagement, activism, payments and a lot of more things. In order to learn about all the chances that we have, we can attend to "MobileActive: Cellphones for Civic Engagement" that it will be held in Toronto, Canada september 22-24.
In other way, to learn from user involvement is the best. Is the topic that focused the workshop that it held in Rome the 12 "User Involvement in e-Government development projects". It held in the Interact 2005 with members from SINTEF, from Fraunhofer Institute and from Science and Technology University of Throndheim from Norway.

A think tank is a research institute or other organization providing advice and ideas on problems of policy, commerce, and military interest, and are often associated with military laboratories, corporations, academia, or other institutions.
