About this ebook
What Is Civic Technology
The term "civic technology" refers to software that improves the interaction between the people and the government by facilitating communication, decision-making, service delivery, and the political process. Civic technology is also known as "civic tech." It encompasses information and communications technology that provides the government with support in the form of software that was developed by community-led teams consisting of volunteers, nonprofits, consultants, and private companies. It also includes tech teams that work within the government and are known as embedded tech teams.

Preface
Why did I write this book?
The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.
It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.
There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.
In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology
, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly class.
So, I convinced my father to buy the encyclopedia. My father bought all the technology tools for me in the beginning of my life, the first computer and the first technology encyclopedia, and both have a great impact on myself and my career.
I have finished the entire encyclopedia in the same summer vacation of this year, and then I started to see how the universe works and to how to apply that knowledge to everyday problems.
My passion to the technology started mor than 30 years ago and still the journey goes on.
This book is part of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies
which is my attempt to give the readers the same amazing experience I had when I was in high school, but instead of 20th century technologies, I am more interested in the 21st century emerging technologies, applications, and industry solutions.
The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies
will consist of 365 books, each book will be focused on one single emerging technology. You can read the list of emerging technologies and their categorization by industry in the part of Coming Soon
, at the end of the book.
365 books to give the readers the chance to increase their knowledge on one single emerging technology every day within the course of one year period.
Introduction
How did I write this book?
In every book of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies
, I am trying to get instant, raw search insights, direct from the minds of the people, trying to answer their questions about the emerging technology.
There are 3 billion Google searches every day, and 20% of those have never been seen before. They are like a direct line to the people thoughts.
Sometimes that’s ‘How do I remove paper jam’. Other times, it is the wrenching fears and secret hankerings they would only ever dare share with Google.
In my pursuit to discover an untapped goldmine of content ideas about Civic Technology
, I use many tools to listen into autocomplete data from search engines like Google, then quickly cranks out every useful phrase and question, the people are asking around the keyword Civic Technology
.
It is a goldmine of people insight, I can use to create fresh, ultra-useful content, products, and services. The kind people, like you, really want.
People searches are the most important dataset ever collected on the human psyche. Therefore, this book is a live product, and constantly updated by more and more answers for new questions about Civic Technology
, asked by people, just like you and me, wondering about this new emerging technology and would like to know more about it.
The approach for writing this book is to get a deeper level of understanding of how people search around Civic Technology
, revealing questions and queries which I would not necessarily think off the top of my head, and answering these questions in super easy and digestible words, and to navigate the book around in a
