Education Might Help
By Jeremy | January 21, 2010
With the government constantly spending on everything from health care for everyone to bridges, they should spend some of that money on education for government workers. Take this recent slashdot story, which tells a woeful tale of a “junior staff member” who used peer-to-peer software on his home computer and unknowingly lost a confidential House Ethics Committee report. This accidental loss of the report seems like a simple mistake made by a junior staff member, except for the fact that making a file available over a peer-to-peer network is completely preventable if the user knows how to correctly use peer-to-peer programs. The government would be well served by educating their workers in technological matters. The loss of the confidential government document, along with a host of other problems, could have been completely avoided.
