Lesson 10 Challenge

Mobile access to government sites is extremely helpful and makes government more accessible for the constituents.  The library was very smart to create the mobile app.  Patrons need access to their accounts online and access to information that impacts their everyday lives.  Driver records and license renewal information is quite common access request at the library.  Patrons can access the valuation of their property through the Bexar County Appraisal District.  This helps them be knowledgeable about their property values and prepare cases to help them present evidence for property re-evaluation.  As far as mobile access to government making people more or less democratic is up to them.  Information in and of itself is information.  What people choose to do with the information is up to them.  In a positive world one would hope that the information would be liberating and used for positive motives.  Knowledge is power.
