In many countries governments are investing in new technology to deal with the public. Why is this happening? Do you think this is an appropriate use of government money?

such
spending and, in my view,
this
is not the most suitable way to use state money. The government understand how the
Internet
benefits the lives of their citizens and
also
the limitation of access to the
network
in a number of places across their countries. The
Internet
has proven powerful in dispensing educational services and general knowledge about all aspects of life,
not to mention

, perhaps the inaccessibility of the
Internet
in many areas, especially disadvantaged ones for which mountainous villages in Vietnam could be brought up as a prime example, has the government draw a conclusion to pour their money into improving the
Internet

Instead
, there are some other areas that authorities could invest in as a pre-requisite complement before supplying a widespread
network
. Constructing schools and deploying qualified teachers to areas that are used to the absence of the

and are unaware of the benefits it might offer could be more promising. In conclusion, there are two main explanations for governments’ special attention to improving
