Excellent- More about Technology vs. Government: The Irresistible Force Meets the Immovable Object
Governmental entities in the US have struggled with procuring and integrating new technologies, resulting in cost overruns, poor fit, and implementation delays. Generation T, born in 2002 and later, is the first generation to grow up in a societal technology bubble, and the book explores how this will impact their work for and interaction with the government.

Governmental entities in the United States face numerous and well-publicized challenges when it comes to procuring and integrating new technologies. A cursory search will reveal a wealth of instances of technology procurement and implementation gone awry. Projects often encounter significant cost overruns, poor fit, and implementation delays, which are routine occurrences. While the private sector continues to keep pace with technological changes and advancements, the government lags behind in integrating and deploying new technologies.
Technology vs. Government delves into the reasons behind government failures in technology acquisitions, innovation, and implementation, their impact on individuals, and the future opportunities and implications for government service, administration, and policy. At the core of the issues discussed in the book lies the concept of Generation T, a term coined within the book to describe the generation born in or after 2002. Generation T is the first generation to grow up in a societal technology bubble. Their default response in most situations is to turn to technology. How will they engage with and work for the government if the government lacks the same technology-first mindset?
By analyzing the relationship between the government in the US and technological adoption, this volume of Studies in Media and Communications offers valuable lessons and principles that can be applied to governments with Western-style democracies or similar forms of administration.
