What's Your Mobile Tech Wish List? US State Dept is Interested!
Some folks over at the eDiplomacy office at the US State Department are interested in understanding the wishes and needs for technology apps from those working in civil society and beyond. They're interested in mobile technology, including mobile phones, but also any pertinent platform for global usage.
See, it’s easy for the Department of State to look at things from it's governmental context and tell others how to use tools they use, but it’s way more useful to see what we and other groups actually want, whether it exists or not, and then see if State can find or make it.
So with that opening, don't let this opportunity go to waste - let the US State Department know what your mobile tech wish list is in the comments below!
