Trump: ‘Government Needs to Catch Up with the Technology Revolution’

(CNSNews.com) – As part of what the White House is calling Tech Week, CEOs from more than a dozen tech companies like Apple, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and Adobe attended a roundtable discussion and reception at the White House on Monday on how technology can be used to improve government services.

“Fifty years ago, our government drove the innovation that inspired the world and put Americans on the moon. Today, many of our agencies rely on painfully outdated technology, and yet, we have the greatest people in technology that the world has ever seen right here with us in this room,” President Donald Trump said Monday during a roundtable with the American Technology Council.

I'm not much of a techie but it seems to be the government is woefully deficient in their use of it, except for the spy agencies, or so it would seem.  I wonder what kind of technology would be of benefit?

usage of fax machines? forms printed on paper?  the other day I received via US mail a statement on premiums paid to Medicare that I requested over a month ago. Could be some technological hurdles right there, as private industry would have had that instantaneously available.
