The document discusses the transition from traditional "Government 1.0" to a new model of "Government 2.0" that utilizes modern web tools and citizen engagement to solve complex problems. It argues that with the infrastructure of Web 2.0, government no longer needs to work alone and can engage citizens to provide public value. The emergence of Government 2.0 aims to make government more open, collaborative, and transparent by using tools like wikis, blogs, video sharing, and social networking.

5. “Our generation of public servants strongly
believed and still believes that government
should work for the people, but we did not
really understand that we also needed to
work with the people. The truth is today’s
challenges are too big for government to solve
alone. It is time to re-engage citizens in the
work of government to solve the “wicked”
problems of our times.”

6. Ordinary people…possess
information – serious, expert,
fact-based, scientific
information – to enhance
decision-making, information not
otherwise available to isolated
bureaucrats.
…people are ready and willing
to share that information
across geographic, disciplinary,
and institutional boundaries.
