I had the pleasure of seeing the FCC CIO speak yesterday at an Adobe Digital Govt Conference. I thought what he had to say was interesting for those of us in Public service.

Hmm, yeah kind of an interesting topic there battle. 

I would be very surprised to see the Military actually take steps towards what he is talking about for government becoming more tablets and cell phones based and phasing out desktop computers.

As everyone knows we as a military and government as a whole are very slow at revamping things! And I dont see anytime in the near future of us being able to bring our own devices to work haha, especially when dealing with jobs the involve classified material...

Very interesting but I think we have a long way to go to close the gap between what he is talking about and actually carrying that out as a government body.

It's interesting you say that because at this same event folks from Dept of the Army, Marines, DHS, and DISA were there. They said they want to do this but the challenge is the stream of sensitive information and how it's handled on tablets and smartphones. I think they see the value but INFOSEC is a huge priority. I think it will be forthcoming. They recognized the avg age of a soldier or marine is 25 and that they are digitally connected. (DISA CIO words)
