There was a revolution in about 1995 when Windows 95 came in the picture. It offered a user friendly UI. In fact the word UI became famous because of Windows 95.
But there was another revolution going on. That was a shift from Open Source to supported software.
The world wanted customer support where your grandma can call the phone number and ask how to setup a DSL modem.
Entire industry stood behind this model. Trillions of dollars and countries were made.
But what happened to the Open Source? It’s a surprise that Open Source still exists and it’s also thriving. Python, Golang, JavaScript, are ruling the developer world. They all have come from Open Source.
Being open to the world means you are making yourself transparent to the quality. Open Source programming languages and even the hardware has made breakthroughs in terms of technology and security. Most of the security software comes from Open Source.
India can adopt the Open Source model to its Governance. There could be a TV Channel which is dedicated to the Parliament. Where all sessions are transmitted over the air to the population of India. With digital India, the votes could be taken on issues in real time over the peripherals connected to the TVs. This will be a next step in the Democracy.
It’s just a tip of an iceberg. Real digitization means participation of people in real time IMHO.
India will not only develop a robust Democracy but the digitization will play a role that NASA played in making USA the most advanced country.
Maybe that’s enough said.
