Yes, people matter and if they are involved in the process in a form of co-creation mode the Government too will be able to get the job done with a much better chance of success. Design of public systems may need several iterations of design and evaluation before a perfect system is implemented with a lot of consensus in the political space.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Ranjan<BR/>from my imac at home on the NID campus<BR/>17 March 2009 at 11.05 pm ISTProf. M P Ranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087205148848576540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390353998993233885.post-1227110187236470672009-03-17T22:14:00.000+05:302009-03-17T22:14:00.000+05:30Dear, Sir,I am Aniket Chattopadhyay, from Kolkata....Dear, <BR/>Sir,<BR/>I am Aniket Chattopadhyay, from Kolkata. I heard about the i-bus but there is something which i want to tell.<BR/>Actually i saw someone has told that speed of transportation here in kolkata is really horrible slow. and more is that an average earning guy cant even effort a 14 km distance with a lavish bus. i can give u an example that AC bus fare from ULTADANGA to TOLLYGUNGE is 35.<BR/>even that bus doesn't come with the facility that the famous i-bus can provide. I mean tell me who will ride it with that much cost and even after that one can bet on that the bus never gonna reach to the destination in proper time with the blessings of traffic system and the road quality.<BR/>So my point of telling is shouldn't there be a specific design firm to design of application or any thing which somehow can effect on a positive manner. Then only we can introduce a high end technology with a eye catching look and we can easily use those stuffs in our daily life. There is no meaning of making such technology which can't be used for the mass. <BR/>Designing a firm which will control the application will not be that easy! We have to think what are the elements that can change the system. Definitely it cannot be the vote, with a brand new government. its us , the people of India who can create if we want. <BR/>pls let me know what your view on this.Aniket Chattopadhyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181566691506756624noreply@blogger.com
