government agency. More importantly, it was made for real people with
the knowledge of what real people expect of such a website. Of course,
there was some imagination on what the real people would need in the
future, and therefore there was anticipation and planning for the
changing needs of real people. This made it more responsive to the
real people.
What we are not seeing from most if not all Government websites is
anything made for real people. Real people need to do realtime
information searches to make quick and informed decisions. This will
make the real people more responsive to other real people so that they
can remain relevant and in business. By having dysfunctional systems
like these websites, what we end up is a cascade of problems that will
lead real people to a lot of frustrations.
