As governor of the Commonwealth, I believe we must now secure Pennsylvania's future as a leader of the information generation and the rapid evolution of technology. But I'm trying. In fact, for the first time, visitors to the Governor's office see something they never would have seen before at the Governor's desk. This past year I have discovered the incredible capabilities of E-mail. And since we unveiled the Pennsylvania Home Page last October, I find myself excited about using the Internet more often.
Technology creates choices.
Technology creates options. Technology reaches beyond basic word processing and into a menu of possibilities that will make it easier for people to work for government, with government, and make government work better for the people . Technology is not a trend, but there are a lot of trends in technology. What is needed then is a strategic vision and approach that unifies our infrastructure and maximizes the public's access to the knowledge and productivity found in the swift currents of cyberspace information. So we have taken action.
