Abstract
This paper supports the argument that educating students to use the Internet is one of the best and most effective ways of insuring their success once they graduate. The author argues that without the ability to use the knowledge that is available on the Internet, or World Wide Web, it is impossible to succeed in today's world. The Internet also serves as a window to the world for today's students and allows them to learn about other societies and promotes global awareness. The author argues that without more government funding these skills will only be available to the wealthy who attend private schools, when these skills could open up the world to all students, rich or poor.
From the Paper
"The Internet allows children to learn more about themselves and the world around them. The federal government currently allocates only about six percent of the funding for public schools with state and local governments picking up the remainder of the tab. he federal government deeply affects education through its policy making, regulatory, research and development activities. The government must further support and urge local and state governments to provide Internet access to children and to foster and support initiatives and activities that will enhance the learning process utilizing the Internet. What we put in our students today, they will give back ten times tomorrow."

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of new information communication technologies (ICTs) on political communication. The emergence of new ICTs such as the internet has created an information superhighway, which has created a great opportunity to enhance the way in which we communicate. The internet allows for the potential of better government to citizen communication, but it also enables governments to create false images and sway public opinion in their favour. This paper is a case study that analyzes the way in which U.S. and Canadian government bodies use the Internet to communicate with its citizens.
From the Paper
"Ever since the beginning of mass communication, governments and political figures have been the first to misuse and exploit new ICTs in order to inject fabricated messages and images into the minds of their audiences. It is innovations such as high quality newsprint, radio, and television, which have enabled governments to construct false images and representations relating to their identities and values. Take for example, world war propaganda from the early to mid-1900s, which was filled with many glamorous images of war and ideas that promoted presidents and prime ministers as heroes. This was especially true with the way that German media represented their leader Hitler as being a type of god to the public."

Abstract
This paper states that it is essential that human resources fund and train personnel and staff to exploit the latest Internet technology to the fullest extent possible because e-governance is becoming one of the major public-sector phenomena of the twenty-first century. The author points out that today's centralized governments are in retreat, as members of the public are savvier and temporal demands are more acute. The paper relates that the utilization of e-governance must be a priority of governments and of strategic human resources that seek to protect the state from appearing inflexible, unresponsive or even anachronistic. The author emphasizes that the ability of the state to "spin" its own message to suit its own needs is greatly enhanced by e-government. The paper asserts that e-governance affords people the opportunity to engage in online transactions that are much faster than traditional "bricks-and-mortar" transactions. In addition to the sources used by the paper, the paper also includes an annotated bibliography of five more sources.
From the Paper
"In a matter related to much of what has been stated above, e-governance allows governments to distribute their message to the masses in a fashion that far exceeds - for speed and convenience, certainly - the manner in which it can be transmitted via other media. Specifically, interactive government web sites can be accessed by members of the public at any time and almost anywhere - as long as an internet hook-up is in place. Because of this, citizens wishing to voice their displeasure (or support) of a government measure do not have endure the tedium of calling into a government ministry or the uncertainty that always seems to accompany penning a letter to government officials and then wondering if it ever arrived. As well, for individuals who are removed from their television sets or who do not have ready access to the local newspaper, an interactive internet site can be a fast way of learning more about something that may very well impact their lives or the lives of others they care about. Finally, because a government web site is not medi

From the Paper
"E-governance is becoming widespread as well as widely accepted by government bodies and administrations. The rapid spread and assimilation of technology into global society has fostered an environment for the efficient use of it for government and civil purposes. "Rationalities of e-government are replete with ideas of networks, joined up governing one-stop shops, individualised service delivery, and government transparencies" (Henman & Dean 2004, p.2). Therefore, e-governance is the creation of a network of information and databases for use by both public officials as well as citizens in order to capitalize on technological advances to improve the processes of governmental systems."

Information Technology and E-Government in Public Administration, 2008.
A literature review to study information technology (IT) and e-government in public administration.
4,045 words (approx. 16.2 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 109.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the implementation and deployment of information technology (IT) solutions in public administration have tended to strengthen the hierarchical bureaucracies already in place instead of transforming these processes. The author then identifies propositions and barriers to effective e-governance. The paper concludes that e-governance has a long way to go in actually delivering public service administration via the Internet. A better understanding of the potential of public administration via the Internet is critical for public administration employees and officials if the benefits of e-governance are to be realized in a manner that truly benefits the public. Several tables and figures are included with the paper.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Theoretical Ideal of Information Technology Examined
Key Issues in E-Government and Public Administration
E-Government Initiatives and Local Government
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The second reform proposition claiming that IT has the power to change the structure of an organization and was therefore a tool for reform is "grounded in the belief that information technology can directly impact the data structure of public administration enforcing or relaxing traditional hierarchical forms." The main-frame computer was viewed from the perspective of being a consolidator of data and expertise which resulted in a reinforcing of hierarchical organizational structures and this is upheld in research findings."

" The Role of Communication in Government
As Lowi and Ginsburg have illustrated, public opinion is not a simple concept. What public opinion is, and has become, is a jigsaw puzzle comprising nationalism, poll taking, and the uses that politicians put to these ideas. It is somewhat surprising to learn of the concerted government effort to nationalize the American population in the 19th century. In order to promote a sense of national unity, with certain essential ideas continuing to dominate everyday life, an enforced nationalism makes sense. Having a vast population conversant in one language, and the efforts to bridge geographic gulfs with roads, telegraphs, and railroads certainly had the desired effect (Lowi & Ginsburg 1994). However, it may be that these efforts, along with the drive toward public literacy, were along the lines of grass roots efforts, and.."

Abstract
For some people, especially Christians, the government?s role of utilizing advanced technology to create a more secure and efficient information superhighway infrastructure is more than just a loss of privacy and freedom; it is the ?Mark of the Beast? and a sign of the ?End of Times? based on the Biblical prophesies. The paper shows that, to others, such as privacy advocate groups, these new innovations are the ?Mark of the New World Order,? a new era in which the government will have totalitarian control of all people throughout the world through the use of advanced technology. The paper traces the history of all prior technological events that led to our current information superhighway and ?identity? crisis, starting from the emergence of computers in the 1960s, which enabled the government to identify each person with a unique number, such as the social security number that was created in the 1930s. The paper discusses the role of the IRS, bar codes, credit cards, the Internet, and Global Positioning Systems.
From the Paper
"Nonetheless, in order for all these great electronic innovations to work efficiently and gather data in one central location, every person will need to carry a national identification card. After several attempts for everyone to receive a national identification card for medical purposes by the Clinton administration, the United States government still has been unsuccessful in standardizing a national identification card. However, many people have already started using a similar card in the banking, telecommunication, transportation, and access areas called the Smart Card. Smart Cards are more intelligent and efficient than the traditional magnetic cards that are widely used today by most consumers. The new Smart Cards are embedded with a computer chip that has the capacity to store an enormous amount of data and is more secure since they require a pin number. Eventually, the government?s goal will be accomplished?the requirement of a national id card, similar to the smart card, which will contain all personal information about you. The technology is there folks. It?s only a matter of time before we open up our mailboxes and find our new Smart Cards that will replace our expired and old magnetic bank cards?that is if you don?t already have one. "

Abstract
This paper examines a new Internet site used by the State of North Carolina, the NC @ Your Service Portal (www.ncgov.com), which provides a "one-stop shop" filled with information and services for the citizens, businesses and state employees of North Carolina. It looks at the possibilities and potential pit-falls that this new site and governmental attitude offers to the public and private sectors and their relationships with the government by examining such variables as the role of government in the digital age, information availability and ease of use, interconnectedness, the ?digital divide?, and facilitation of personal involvement.
From the Paper
"The NC @ Your Service site features three statewide portals -- a citizen portal, a business portal, and an employee portal. Information or applications currently available through North Carolina agency web sites are accessible via the portals. These portals are designed and organized to allow North Carolina citizens, businesses, and state employees to navigate to an information source or application based on what they want to do. In addition, each portal can be personalized such that an individual may select the content that appears on his or her portal. One of the purposes of the new site is to insure that the users are getting the information that they desire online, instead of what agencies want online..."

Cisco Systems & Government Regulation, 2002.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
As the leading provider of networking products for the Internet, Cisco Systems uses e-commerce via the internet. Therefore, according to the paper, Cisco Systems adamantly opposes any government regulation, such as taxing internet traffic, that would impinge on the efficiency and growth of e-commerce. This paper looks at the ways in which Cisco Systems is affected by government regulation.
From the Paper
"Other laws and proposed laws also have caused concern for both Cisco Systems and the industry. Both the Congress and several states are considering laws to protect individual privacy on the Internet. Both Cisco and the industry oppose such a law, holding that the industry can be more effective through self-regulation. Another law that has been proposed frequently by some members of Congress and by some states would apply taxation to Internet activity. Both Cisco and the industry argue that taxation would cripple e-commerce just as it is beginning to grow. Thus far, the lawmakers have backed down on taxation proposals for the Internet."

Abstract
This paper looks at the disciplinary actions available to the U.S. Government and the U.S. Military when federal employees or military personnel violate rules regarding authorized use of computers. The internet is cited as a major factor that encourages and enables the unauthorized use of computers. Two major military cases regarding the abuse of military computers are discussed and federal laws on computer crimes are explained.
From the Paper
"The US Military and Government prohibits the unauthorized use of Government Unclassified/OSIS computers to surf prohibited sites, such as those containing sexually explicit material that may be deemed pornography. Typically the government randomly selects computers or users to monitor to maintain this law. However unauthorized use of computers is a problem within the government and military at large, at least as much of a problem as unauthorized computer use is for any employer in society. Federal employees who violate this prohibition are subject to a wide range of disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal."

The writer examines the hardships in implementing these technological advances on a population that is not always ready to accept major changes in a system that have known for ages.
Introduction
Digital Identification
Voter Registration
Petition Signatures
Voter Access
From the Paper
"Even though polls are open from about 6am-7pm on voting day, citizens get so wrapped up in everyday hassle that voting might slip their mind. Internet voting would just be a lot more convenient. There has been two different methods offered up in implementing internet voting. Of the two methods to Internet vote, I do believe that one provides more security than the other. It would be good to go to the polls to vote, just like regular, show ID and cast the vote via the Internet. Being able to vote from remote areas should take a while longer because voting should be 100% secure. It is essential that the government has already looked to trial runs. In order for Internet voting to become official it is critical that the government establish a method of security. In order for this to occur an extreme amount of time and research needs to happen. This is something that the government can continue to run trial and error with until there are successful methods. The test need to be continuous. Douglas W. Jones list the following testing routine to provide a heightened level of security."

Government Performance Results Act, 2004.
This paper discusses the General Accounting Office (GAO) report on the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), titled, ?Status of Achieving Key Outcomes and Addressing Major Management Challenges?.

Abstract
This paper explains that the 2001 GAO review of DOJ, a routine assessment conducted in compliance with federal law, the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) was put into place because waste and inefficiency undermine the confidence of the American people. The author believes that the current Attorney General, John Ashcroft, a hard-line, religious-right, ultra-conservative, has shown a contempt for the Bill of Rights. The paper states that the GAO should not be given more power, but the Congress has a duty to enter into a new post-9/11 phase and stand up to the Executive Branch to independently protect Americans from waste, abuse, and mismanagement of resources.

The GAO Critiques DOJ
Internet-Based Research of DOJ
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As to the first of DOJ?s ?planned outcomes? ? less violence related to gangs and drugs ? the GAO in its summary states that DOJ ?fell short of achieving its performance targets for four measures.? Looking into those failures a bit more closely (p. 8), DOJ had said it would try to perform 4.81 million ?criminal background checks? ? and yet it only conducted 4.49 million checks. Also, the GAO says that while DOJ claims it prevented 71,890 ?ineligible? individuals from purchasing firearms, the GAO says DOJ missed its target of preventing 140,244 persons from buying guns."
