Government will become the thing which puts work to tender and decides who gets the contract.

Every service will become privatised.

Government will converge on what it does best, core business, collaborative decision making between representatives from diverse groups.

Contrary to popular belief it is not government inertia which slows this transition, it is public expectation. Society is not yet ready.

Services, as others say, require physical presence. Core Gov can become 100% digital and will, since gov is the nervous ( and circulatory ) system, which causes to function the diverse systems required for society's function.

Watch Zuckerberg make a play for government through FB. Gov is the network. It is already information. All that's missing is the social technology to trust that gov works like this to make it happen.

Northern Europe / Korea will go first.
