The document discusses the concepts of Government 1.0 and Government 2.0. Government 1.0 refers to a traditional top-down model with one-way communication from the government to citizens. Government 2.0 aims to be more collaborative and transparent by leveraging tools of Web 2.0 like blogs, wikis and crowdsourcing to bridge the gap between governments and citizens and encourage two-way participation. While Government 2.0 aims to transform governance, some experts argue it may have limited impact on empowering citizens or changing how governments function substantially in reality. However, moving towards more open and collaborative models remains an important ideal for democracies.
