It’s not just NY. It’s cities, governments, and the systems firmly entrenched in the 20th century. It’s painful to watch – these broken systems haven’t been able to yoke themselves to the steam engine of the 21st century, and it’s quite literally destroying governments and corporations.

The complete inability to embrace transparency, or understand it, is a destructive force in advancing out of this immature technological stage.

What’s worse, is that so many people are self interested, more worried about making a gaming app than actually disrupting. A big problem is the culture of silicon valley who is more interested in answering questions that aren’t being asked, coupled with the greedy VC –> IPO stage. No one actually, really wants disruption, because disruption isn’t really about money. It’s about upending the status quo, and the powers that be are quite interested in not letting that happen. The problem is that the change of the guard won’t happen, because there are enough people money or power hungry to continue the dysfunction on Wall Street & Capitol Hill.

Back to broken systems this technological immaturity will continue as long as the majority of technologists ignore maturing these communication technologies to grant paths of access to government, create transparency, and find new levels of accountability that scare almost everyone.

But until then, companies and governments are going to look like idiots and fall apart, and someone that can actually change things is making a game for 4 year olds to play on an iphone.
