Could attempts to throttle blogging and internet discussions,restricting and spying phone conversations be seen emanating from possibly low level of technical expertise at disposal of Govt?
It is obvious that no high end IT technologist would love to join Govt. services these days. Since they can’t match the earnings compared to those who are recruited by private IT biggies, they would seek comfort in empowerment. It will be matter of debate that many of the irrational decisions and debates at policy level could be result of this aberration .
These novo-‘experts’ like old time bureaucrats may love to see themselves behind new genre of public ‘controls’ imagining themselves to be eyes of IT policing and enjoying empowerment.
Even one of the reason ( beside greed) for the enigma behind seasoned politicians getting sucked into billion rupees scams could be IT brains feeding crisp (and possibly vendor driven) presentations to graying and technologically handicapped politicians and bureaucrats.
Vendor driven technologies may be introduced at huge costs, usefulness of which even auditor would hardly question due to same lack of knowledge at their end.
These mediocre technocrats could be one and possibly a serious reason behind the gullibility to which otherwise seasoned decision makers fall for. And also behind some irrational policy discussions .
