Minute, you guys are in charge. They are not even talking to each other. So that is much more frustrating because it seems to me that we are treading water and doing gotcha politics weigh more than we should be doing. And i think thats why so many voters are attracted to donald trump, hes all about how i can do different. And i would say on. But i would say in a different way because of the philosophy of bernie sanders, not because hes on the because hes committed and he feels like its going to shake things up, thats lazy the voters attracted to those candidates because they want someone to grab the status quo by the lapels and shake it into submission. I get that feeling that i felt that way for decades. Interestingly enough that aspect as a dysfunction that you are describing, the authority among the party leaderships, and parted that is also what is fueling these outsider candidacies, you are begging for leadership internally and in an organization and maybe thats what a little bit of what voters are looking for as well, but part of the problem is that the leaders ability to lead has been eroded by the way that politics has gone. That is exactly right. That they have hard rigid ideology on both ends that have made it harder for them to embrace compromise is something as part of their job. Many have to deal with them everyday, ted cruz, rand paul, people like that, mike leigh, its very hard. And even worse because the tea party is so entrenched in the house more so than the senate. So that is a problem. Politics have gone very turn around. You can now go to certain politics or acclamation but not information. And the people that who are the loudest and who are most averse to compromise, i make the jokes that about 35 watch fox news and they think im satan on a horse and 30 think that i can do no wrong. The rest of them are watching dancing with the stars and thinking that im all crazy. Some of those watching cspan are informed. While they may not be calling me all the time they are opinion makers and they do help and theres just not enough of them. If the parties are going to go away, are we living them in a referendum donald trump democracy . I think the time is going to tell if someone like donald trump would be getting elected, we would have a backlash. I dont think that he will be elected. But the money thing is also a big part of it and that is why getting rid of Citizens United has to be a priority in the country. We are almost out of time so im glad you brought that up because the nature of campaigning is connected with the experience of what you are doing to govern or legislate. He said the need to raise 40,000 per day, that number would be higher, of course, today. So how much does this suck User Experience as a politician. How much has that distorted what you do . Well, it makes it less enjoyable, it makes me not as good at my job because i spend too much time at it. We have limits, are direct campaign, its a matter of making a case and asking people to contribute to it. Im constantly does the disappointing some of my donors because i ignored sometimes what they want me to do and what i think is right. And i certainly doesnt undermine labor friends when i voted for the tpa even though they were big donors of mine. I explained that that doesnt mean that i vote the way you want me to vote. So i think that the limits help but what is driving a new kind of politics is that all of these president ial candidates have spent more time shopping for their billionaires and funding their super pacs. That is different, that is brandnew. I think the piece that talked about super pac money that had been raised so far was almost three times as much as would have been raised by the candidate and that that money was dominated by like six to seven individuals. So this has really become an oligarchy of campaign. This really has become a certain class of billionaires funding political conversation in this country. People have to rise up and say that i will not accept that. And they have to say im going to be working on Campaign Finance and Ethics Reform and im very excited that they have made Campaign Finance reform an important part of their campaigns. And. Senator claire mccaskill. The book is called plenty ladylike. And this was the first vote. What did you learn in writing it, what would you do differently than what was your big take away and i had to sit down with my children and talk about how i talked about this and im so proud that i was honest and blunt in this book. I think that we need more of it in the public round. I dont know that i have another book in me. My sister says to me that you cannot write another one because you are way too far ahead. But i dont know that ill ever do it again, but im glad that i did and i feel good about it. I hope others buy this book for their daughters. I want them to empower their daughters. And you know, especially when you are nine or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 years old, my hope is that a lot of fathers will understand what ladylike is when it comes to their daughters. Thank you so much. Its been great. Coming up tomorrow night, more booktv. First, blogovich versus blogovich. And the founding of the Mormon Church from allies, when they were governors to rivals are in mitt romneys first president ial run. The book is mormon rivals. Later an indepth examination in the queen of Hillary Clintons failures and a competence. This sunday night on q a, Brookings Institute fellowship talks about the u. S. Counterinsurgency and state building efforts in afghanistan. They did improve security. But it ultimately depends on how it ends. We are now slowly emerging in the country. And the taliban is deeply entrenched. 3 million people, 25 or younger, 85 live in developing countries. We have live coverage on how to involve these people in democratic processes. That is it for Electrical Systems here on cspan2 at 9 30 a. M. Eastern. See that. The Senate Special committee on aging held a hearing on Diabetes Research and funding. And that includes the more federal dollars for research. That will be at 4 00 p. M. Eastern. The social network connecting federal, state, and local employees next. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] the morning come everyone. [inaudible] we are helping everyone do their jobs every day. And so look, we are on cspan. And they semiannual late last night. And so we will see what happened. And we have some little business items. And we want to thank our sponsors were back to back if you want to talk to them. This is the hash tag. If you are not on cspan and you have a question. We will incorporate your questions as well. Everyone always asks wholl be available and all the rest will be sent to you. [inaudible] [inaudible] steve is back there, we will sit down and do the best that we can. And no, you get to sit down at that point. And thats mostly to have lunch with steve, who is endlessly entertaining. Here it is, on the back. This is all the boring stuff. Okay, check, check, check. So chris, we talked about this last week. Can you define this for me . Defined the internet for me. He has a good focus. When it comes to this network, it provides the internet protocol to enable the massive numbers of things to provide this. And they say that this is no longer good. Does that kind of thing work . It is a perfect example and it is everything. And i knew no one else was there. You start off by talking about how theres a new way of government productivity and coming up with the stage right now is the Vice President of the Information Technology and innovation foundation. Is director of the center of data and innovation. [applause]. Good morning everyone, it is a pleasure to be here. I want to thank the organizers for putting this together, im the director of the center of data innovation which is a think tank in washington d. C. The focus on how data innovation is driving improvement and quality of life, and helping grow the economy. Our focuses on helping on helping policymakers understand what all these changes are the that are going on with technology right now. What changes are going on with data, how they can construct smart policy to accelerate these changes. What i want to do today is talk to you about how things can improve with government, and what should we be thinking about the internet . How does it impact an organization, how organization, how does it impact us as individuals . Lets look at the definition here ordinary objects enhanced with internet connectivity. So some people think about why does my toaster need to be on the internet . Its a classic example i agree your toaster shouldnt be on the internet, i dont think were going to be talking about toasters so well move from that example to things that actually have an impact. This is important, when we talk about the magnitude of the trend its something we are expecting to redefine society, organization and our individual life. Right now theres about 16 billion connected devices, by 2020 theyll be 40 billion connected billion connected devices. Well have 150 intimate internet connected cars. This is the same thing will see with many other types of devices and objects. Its not just your smart phones. We are seeing transformation here, were seeing transformation in many different areas purse. Were seeing it transfer many different industries. So something that is redefining how manufacturing is done, when you look at Companies Like toyota or bowling, they want to know every turn of the screw and their factory. They want to measure that and record that. It changes how these organizations work. For example in things like recall, when you look at recalls that happened now instead of having to recall 10000 vehicles theyre going to figure out what went wrong in the manufacturing process and pinpoint a few vehicles that they have to go out, based on serial numbers, based on manufacturers and just pull those back and make those repair. It will change will change how organizations and companies approach things. This is one of the Largest Mining Companies in the world, they created some called the mind of the future. They put all their minds all around the world and automated their tractors and other machinery so all data is constantly flowing back to their coming center in australia and they can get a realtime view of how these companies work. When they approach mining, which is a very physical industry, its all about data. Theyre transferring data across the world every day, this is how they really operate, its how they define success. On the right i have a picture of a smart plant thats interesting. And agriculture, if you look at Companies Like john deere, the tractors, they are making really smart vehicles right now. Its not someone whos just driving in a field, its gps enabled tractors, theyre very precisely laying the seed based on climate condition, based on soil test measurement, based on prediction about what c grows grows best in what location based on prediction. All of this is a very data sensitive process. Theyre able to figure out how much moisture is on the field now how much more do we have to add, what what seed should we be putting, what fertilizer should we be using, again very dated data driven and this is how we are changing how organizations work. We talk about it precision agriculture now your shifting how agriculture is being done. On the left, this is an example of a device from verizon, it can turn any car made after 1994 into a smart vehicle. You plug it in, theres an onboard diagnostics controller on your car, which every car has , its what you see with when the check engine light comes on. You plug that in and you can remotely start your car, roll down the windows, do all the things remotely on a car that you didnt think you could do but you actually can if you have internet connectivity. Its a simple device and you just plug it in and you have Remote Control of your car. Were seen many changes in the Transportation Industry as we have the interdiction of connected vehicles. These Remote Control and convenient factors. Im talking about the internet and its a fundamentally transformative city, look at some of the devices we already see on the market today. The top left is a smart trashcan, theyre quite common now, they are solar powered and they have recycling compactors in there. Whats interesting is they actually measure whether or not they are full, and they let the sanitation crew knew no one its time to pick them up. It might not seem like much but on a campus there able to cut 12 pickups a week to down to two per week. On the top right, this is an air quality egg so you get air quality information about the city, if youre like youre getting it about neighborhood. With this this is an air quality sensor you have in your home, in your office, so you can have microinformation about climate information. Once we have it we can really start doing new things. For example if you bike to work, you to work, you can bike not only based on the best traffic condition is but where the best air quality is. On the bottom right, these are parking sensors that are being deployed in San Francisco and other cities to. It will give you information on whether parking spot is occupied. When you look at traffic problems that cities have, and omissions of the road, youre looking people are looking for parking spots. Especially urban areas finding a parking spot can be difficult. You can have realtime routing and reduce time on the road and reduce emissions. On the left, this is a bridge in south korea. This is the first smart bridges there many others like this now including one in maryland. One of the problems with bridges, we know the United States we have this issue of crumbling structures. It costs a lot to repair and so we continue to put it off until we do have to do inspections but theres not that many bridge inspectors. Theres a lot of bridges, a lot of highway and it takes a lot of human time to go out to figure out whats wrong. We often miss the problem before we find it. So what you can do with the sensors they can detect vibrations, using the aberration detection you can figure out when a bridge is likely to fail and intervene before that happens. So in minnesota, and los angeles this is a big problem in the United States you can actually get realtime information about which of bridges, which highway structure should be replaced sooner. Okay i press the button everyone told me not to press. Theres some people are interested with a whole line of devices, my favorite is a smokable alarm and Carbon Monoxide detector there. One interesting thing is its not just a Smoke Detector thats connected to the internet, it works together with the rest of your home system and if there is a fire detected in your home, for example, it says maybe i should turn off the air conditioner which is blowing air into a flame and its a bad idea. These small innovations like that for housing and safety. Another device is put out by a line of smart phone devices, this one is run detecting water usage. If you look theres a device on their when you use the sink in the bathroom, or the toilet, all these have different vibration signals and just by listening to the vibrations, this device measures all your water usage in the tire house. It can also tell you things if you have a leak. If you have a Vacation Home and you are away from it most of the year, you might want to know, is the will water water running, is their problem in my house. These are good for insurance, when you look at what insurers are paying out for water damage is one of the top claims, if you can start measuring this you can start reducing risk, and reducing costs for individuals. It changes how Industries Work and how we live. We also have a smart lightbulb, you can control it from your smart phone you can also use these colorful lights to signal things. One of the things is about having feedback. Maybe you have a light turn a different color when its raining outside, or you have a light turn a different color based on some kind of signal that you have set up so that it alerts you. On the top right we have the amazon echo this is what were seen in many homes. Finally the internet is transforming people, i want to highlight a few products here. Theres a smart pill bottle that basically tells you when its time to take your medicine. Medication insurance is one of the largest problems in healthcare, on the left we have fitness monitoring devices. How many people in this room are wearing an Activity Tracker right now . So already year seen this kind of transformation. On the right this is an Activity Tracker and it can tell you if a person is moving, they they rolled over there on their back or their stomach, when you have that kind of monitoring theres something called livelihood and these products so you can make sure that people are moving around. This is one of the first fda approved wearable that is all about tracking peoples body signs, is called body guardian. I just saw last friday theres new research coming out about people with parkinsons, one of the problems is the failure of gate. They try to take a step and theyre like doesnt work, their therefore it doesnt work in the fall over, this can be a huge problem because you dont know if this happens and generally if it was in the elderly you have interest from falls. Using just a smart phone or other sensors you can actually detect when this is about to happen where people are experiencing system symptoms. It can provide them coaching like provide take bigger steps, and they can have their smart phone talking them through. It increases increases their independence, it addresses a major health condition. So why does all this really matter . I think as Government Employees you have to understand that its not just what technologies out there but what are the trends and how will this impact. There are two big things here, one will see better data and that means better decisions. Better data is more accurate, its more granular and is more timely. The question is if you have to start thinking, what can i i do it when i have this better data . The second allows automation. Again theres a lot of ways you can see automation, some of this can be alerts and feedback like a smoke alarm going off, some of it can be controlled like changing the temperature of your smart phone. Some of it is Artificial Intelligence and were talking about automation based on intelligence for example i can predict where i can predict what people will be here so i can adjust my time of when im going to be here. It also comes back to you can understand what you cant measure. If you can measure better you can manage better and i think that something people in this room should be thinking about. The interesting part i want to spend time talking about is how king government leverage the internet. Thinking about the internet and new technology causes problems, you have have to have a Strategic Alignment between what technology can do and what the mission of the organization is. When you have this you can see really great results. For example is a loose misery, the Public Transportation system, they have a a metro bus they started using electronic sensors about when the systems would fail. They looked at oil pressure, temperature, speed and were basically able to prevent and reduce downtime, have service sooner and rick increase reliability of their system. There able to save 5 million a year in maintenance costs. We think about disrupting how we do things in government, for example right now if you look at labor policy, generally are paid by the hour and take breaks based on how long people work. A lot of people are wearing activity monitors maybe should be based on how much activity have like a Police Officer for example sitting in a patrol car versus walking for eight hours, is there any difference . We may need to look at how we rethink labor based on these. Second we need to think about how we can make smart, were seen this in some locations. California decided by 2025 all water meters have to be smart. Theyre able to cut water loss by 50 and that they could scan who could access water and when. I we have to look at where we can make smart defaults on other areas were investing in government. When talking about Building Partnerships with the private sector. Right now anyone in government is in aware of a bring your own device, we talk about 40 billion devices clearly all this will not be owned by ever meant the question is how can government leverage all the technology they dont actually own. We need to build partnerships. This company was originally using video and they pointed a smart phone out of the window in stream the video and then they used analytics to detect the volume of people in a certain location. So businesses would want to know this, government would want to know this, and theyve replace the video now it just sensors because a private and from privacy information. The government should be thinking about the data divide, this is a a new concept it. We know about the Digital Divide and theres have and havenots when it comes to technology. It will also be attacked technology divide. Sometimes based on geographic location, how can the government help ensure the internet was a benefit that can be shared by everyone . Heres an example of Technology Used to detect gunfire, in in washington d. C. Theres about 300 sensors around the city. This is put out by the washington post, the dark area is where there have been the most shots, which is surprisingly large number of gunfire in d. C. One interesting thing is in 2011 the white house was hit by gunfire. It was discovered that there was a bullet in the white house, the question is why did the city that has all of these shots fired sensors, why did this not protect . The answer is nobody thought to put the sensors around the white house or around the highincome areas of washington d. C. So it was never measured. So the technology that was available was never put in this area. We need to talk about collaboration coronation. One interesting question for government right now, especially his staff himself why didnt we create it . If you think about it the problem over try to solve, matching passengers to drivers was really a tax problem was something that cities and states knew they had, their familiar with rolling out technology and they did this in the past, but they didnt actually solve it. Theres a number of reasons why they didnt solve it, one reason no city solve this problem because their thinking only about their own needs. They werent saying all these other cities have the same problem maybe we should come together and figure out how to solve the problem. Maybe we can come together and builds build some type of platform that we can all use. Theres an interesting model and look about the cia that funds startups and providing services for the intelligence committee. The question is can we do some i got in the rest of the government. Can can we do for federal, state, local . Thats it means that we have to think outside the box. Its about sharing a common platform, services will be critical in the space. Finally coming back to productivity here, its about pursuing efficiency, we talk about innovation we get hung up on the creativity side, wont talk about innovation we cant lose that construction component. We cant settle with doing cool things with technology we need to talk about increasing government productivity. That means increasing outputs and decreasing input. Theres big challenges we having governments as we talk about things like automation were talking about a limiting jobs, removing jobs. When we talk about things like smart bridges were talking about reducing bridge inspectors. The chicago map of the snowplow, its its realtime information about where their snowplows are, this actually has a reduction on their call centers. People always call and say when is the snow plow coming but now they can actually see it. But theyre not gaining benefit lesser out there trying to figure out how they can translate this information. One of the challenges are put back to you is as we think about the internet in the short term or think about what we can do about this technology and how can enable new opportunities. In the long term it comes back to the big challenges we having government around managing it, which is how do we work with the budgets, how do we cut and how do we manage large it projects . So we have to solve these problems if we want to be successful. I want to leave you on a positive note. I have my information up, id be happy to talk further, one plug if youre interested in the work word do will put out a report a few weeks. It will really that the case for this, very, very similar to what we saw around National Strategy and if youre interesting i would encourage you to sign up for it. [applause]. So no one likes as the first questions all do it. How many folks are doing anything with internet right now . Silver folks who are trying to think of how in the world that you deal with this and how its changing so fast help them get into that mindset. Thats a great question. I think when it comes to it projects we have to check the problems differently, so if you think about network if you want to collaborate with someone you have to get them to do something that maybe they are not willing to do, or they dont want to do. Its all about building trust. One of the things that one of the challenges we have is just building trust. Talking about about having partnerships outside of our immediate scope. If someone is doing a project that could benefit from you theyre going to have to share a budget and nobodys gonna be happy unless they trust each other. The second is coordination, if youre doing something in there someone in government doing the exact same thing then you need to figure out who they are, build those things so that when you do something youre doing it in harmony and that you can build on the skill. If theres two different problems and he had figure out how to do it well thats a big challenge. Thank you its a fantastic presentation my question is what should be the balance to help enable the it marketplace . I dont have an answer to that. I people looking at the spectrum issues, its going to be depending on the application. If you look, they had what we thought was on the weight start talk about please body cameras and youre talking about huge amounts of video in your completely changes how we actually do it. Its really up in the air right now how this will work. Right now we talk about wanting standards for this but i think in government as were building it out theres going to be opportunity to leverage that in many ways. For example some of the sensors been to play deploy, they deployed virginia hospitals so if there is an earthquake they would know when to evacuate. So the question is if there is a system like that do use public airwaves, do they use Something Else they acquire . Considers an earthquake in california and for the First Time Since a many people have these on their devices on their arm they can tell you know how many people got woken up by these earthquake and they could find that out in some way shape or form. Theres a lot of data that we never really thought of. Exactly if you look at the tsunami problems. They actually toyota worked with the government and they said very publicly we never do it in the United States but they were able to enable Data Analytics to figure out where people went. They could figure out what roads were open and who needed services so as an opportunity to use that data in an emergency situation. Where you have to break the glass and have to use the information. Thank you danielle for being here. A lot of this innovation is happening at the state and local level and coming up on stage is the executive director. Thank you for the chance to be here. I want to talk about what it takes to build a smart city. I came from an Organization Called usa night, weve been asked to start thinking about next restoration application as they evolve. Its a little bit like where we are 1991 in 1992 trying to figure out exactly what to do with this before the first browser. We are in the process of creating many applications across a Public Benefit areas like healthcare, transportation, benefit areas like healthcare, transportation, clean energy, were working to do that. Our goal is to create applications throughout the next three to four years working across 200 communities smart city testbeds. So we have places where these things can be tested. We find early examples like in kansas city where fiber exists that theres quite a number of great economic benefits occurring through job creation, technology, ecosystem startups and so on. Let me talk a little about our view about this evolving infrastructure to support this in cities and give some examples and then and by talking about some structures we put in place to help cities implements applications. Let me skip a few slides to finish on time here area when we think about the internet they did a wonderful job about laying out, we you think about whats required to support internet we think about intelligent sensors, local storage, something that is evolving as opposed to, most important where focused on fighting Network Second support the the requirements of these realtime applications. Unique components to make this work. Today we are focused on three components to that one is wired and wireless network, adaptable networks so that developers can control the characteristics of their networks and then competing in storage. It means secure data and slice status of people have immediate access. Once. Today the infrastructure makes some of these capabilities hard to deliver. There are many hops between the Government Agencies and the homeowner or a business, as many as 15 rabbit hops so we are very focused on increasing the connectivity between
