Tim Berners Lee
Real life is, and must be, full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration. … The stage
is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines

Characteristics of the social machine1. problems are beginning to be solved by
very large scale human participation via the Web;
2. there is access to, or the ability to generate, large amounts of relevant data using open data standards;
3. there is increasing confidence in the quality of the data; and
4. human-computer interfaces are becoming far more intuitive and seamless.

“Government is, at bottom, a mechanism for collective action.Government 2.0 is the use of technology … to better solve collective problems at a city, state, national, and international level.”

“Government as a Social Machine”Research Questions:1. How does Government as a "social
machine” change the way that it interacts with citizens?
2. What key challenges are emerging as a result of this perspective?
3. How are Government agencies addressing these challenges?

Early thoughts• The dynamic of “power” had changed• Governments are moving towards being
much more open and transparent• Citizens are using social networks to
create new businesses serving community needs
• Privacy is now front and centre …
