and work in the one environment

ื•ืœืขื‘ื•ื“ ื‘ืกื‘ื™ื‘ื” ืื—ืช
00:26
that represents pretty much everything they're supposed to hate;

00:34
and it's a little bit like a Peace Corps for geeks.

ื•ื–ื” ืงืฆืช ื›ืžื• ื—ื™ืœ ื”ืฉืœื•ื ืœื’ื™ืงื™ื.

We select a few fellows every year

Instead of sending them off into the Third World,

ื‘ืžืงื•ื ืœืฉืœื•ื— ืื•ืชื ืœืขื•ืœื ื”ืฉืœื™ืฉื™,

ืื ื—ื ื• ืฉื•ืœื—ื™ื ืื•ืชื ืœืขื™ืจื™ื”.
00:48
And there they make great apps, they work with city staffers.

ื•ืฉื ื”ื ื™ื•ืฆืจื™ื ืืคืœื™ืงืฆื™ื•ืช ื ืคืœืื•ืช, ื”ื ืขื•ื‘ื“ื™ื ืขื ืื ืฉื™ ื”ืขื™ืจื™ื”.
00:51
But really what they're doing is they're showing what's possible

ืื‘ืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื ื‘ืืžืช ืขื•ืฉื™ื ื–ื” ืœื”ืจืื•ืช ืžื” ืืคืฉืจ

So meet Al.

ืื–, ื”ื›ื™ืจื• ืืช ืืœ.
00:58
Al is a fire hydrant in the city of Boston.

ืืœ ื”ื•ื ื‘ืจื– ื›ื™ื‘ื•ื™ ื‘ืขื™ืจ ื‘ื•ืกื˜ื•ืŸ.
01:00
Here it kind of looks like he's looking for a date,
17

ื›ืืŸ ื–ื” ื ืจืื” ื›ืื™ืœื• ื”ื•ื ืžื—ืคืฉ ื“ื™ื™ื˜,
01:03
but what he's really looking for is for someone to shovel him out when he gets snowed in,
18
63260
3000
ืื‘ืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ื‘ืืžืช ืžื—ืคืฉ ื–ื” ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ืฉื™ื’ืจื•ืฃ ืืช ื”ืฉืœื’ ื›ืฉื”ื•ื ืžื›ื•ืกื”,
01:06
because he knows he's not very good at fighting fires
19

ืžืคื ื™ ืฉื”ื•ื ืœื ื˜ื•ื‘ ื‘ืžืœื—ืžื” ื‘ืืฉ

ื›ืฉื”ื•ื ืžื›ื•ืกื” ื‘ืฉืœื’.
01:11
Now how did he come to be looking for help
21

2000
ืื™ืš ืงืจื” ืฉื”ื•ื ืžื—ืคืฉ ืขื–ืจื”
01:13
in this very unique manner?

2000
ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ื”ืžืื•ื“ ืžื™ื•ื—ื“ืช ื”ื–ื•?
01:15
We had a team of fellows in Boston last year
23

2000
ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื ื• ืงื‘ื•ืฆืช ืขืžื™ืชื™ื ื‘ื‘ื•ืกื˜ื•ืŸ ื‘ืฉื ื” ืฉืขื‘ืจื”

ื“ืจืš ืชื•ื›ื ื™ืช ืงื™ื“ื•ื“ ืขื‘ื•ืจ ืืžืจื™ืงื”.
01:19
They were there in February, and it snowed a lot in February last year.
25

3000
ื”ื ื”ื™ื• ืฉื ื‘ืคื‘ืจื•ืืจ, ื•ื™ืจื“ ื”ืจื‘ื” ืฉืœื’ ื‘ืคื‘ืจื•ืืจ ืฉืขื‘ืจ.
01:22
And they noticed that the city never gets
26
82260
2000
ื•ื”ื ื”ื‘ื—ื™ื ื• ืฉื”ืขื™ืจ ืœืขื•ืœื ืœื
01:24
to digging out these fire hydrants.
27
84260
2000
ืžื’ื™ืขื” ืœืคื ื•ืช ืืช ื”ืฉืœื’ ืžื”ื‘ืจื–ื™ื ื”ืืœื”.
01:26
But one fellow in particular,
28
86260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ืขืžื™ืช ืื—ื“ ื‘ืžื™ื•ื—ื“,
01:28
a guy named Erik Michaels-Ober,
29
88260
2000
ื‘ื—ื•ืจ ื‘ืฉื ืืจื™ืง ืžื™ื›ืืœืก-ืื•ื‘ืจ,
01:30
noticed something else,
30
90260
2000
ื”ื‘ื—ื™ืŸ ื‘ืžืฉื”ื• ืื—ืจ,
01:32
and that's that citizens are shoveling out sidewalks
31
92260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ืฉืื–ืจื—ื™ื ืžื ืงื™ื ืฉืœื’ ืžืžื“ืจื›ื•ืช
01:34
right in front of these things.
32
94260
2000
ืžืžืฉ ืœืคื ื™ ื”ื‘ืจื–ื™ื ื”ืืœื”.
01:36
So he did what any good developer would do,
33
96260
2000
ืื– ื”ื•ื ืขืฉื” ืžื” ืฉื›ืœ ืžืคืชื— ื˜ื•ื‘ ื”ื™ื” ืขื•ืฉื”,
01:38
he wrote an app.
34
98260
2000
ื”ื•ื ื›ืชื‘ ืืคืœื™ืงืฆื™ื”.
01:40
It's a cute little app where you can adopt a fire hydrant.
35
100260
2000
ื–ื• ืืคืœื™ืงืฆื™ื” ื—ืžื•ื“ื” ื•ืงื˜ื ื” ื‘ื” ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืืžืฅ ื‘ืจื– ื›ื™ื‘ื•ื™.
01:42
So you agree to dig it out when it snows.
36
102260
2000
ื•ื›ืš, ืืชื ืžืกื›ื™ืžื™ื ืœืคื ื•ืช ืžืžื ื• ืืช ื”ืฉืœื’.
01:44
If you do, you get to name it,
37
104260
2000
ืื ืืชื ืขื•ืฉื™ื ืืช ื–ื”, ืืชื ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœืชืช ืœื• ืฉื,
01:46
and he called the first one Al.
38
106260
2000
ื•ื”ื•ื ืงืจื ืœืจืืฉื•ืŸ ืืœ.
01:48
And if you don't, someone can steal it from you.
39
108260
2000
ื•ืื ืืชื ืœื, ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื’ื ื•ื‘ ืœื›ื ืื•ืชื•.
01:50
So it's got cute little game dynamics on it.
40
110260
3000
ืื– ื™ืฉ ืœื–ื” ื“ื™ื ืžื™ืงืช ืžืฉื—ืง ื ื—ืžื“ื”.
01:53
This is a modest little app.
41
113260
2000
ื–ื• ืืคืœื™ืงืฆื™ื” ืงื˜ื ื” ื•ืฆื ื•ืขื”.
01:55
It's probably the smallest
42
115260
2000
ื”ื™ื ื›ื ืจืื” ื”ื›ื™ ืงื˜ื ื”
01:57
of the 21 apps that the fellows wrote last year.
43

01:59
But it's doing something
44
119260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื™ื ืขื•ืฉื” ืžืฉื”ื•
02:01
that no other government technology does.
45

2000
ืฉืืฃ ื˜ื›ื ื•ืœื•ื’ื™ื” ืžืžืฉืœืชื™ืช ืœื ืขื•ืฉื”.
02:03
It's spreading virally.
46
123260
3000
ื”ื™ื ืžืชืคืฉื˜ืช ื•ื™ืจืืœื™ืช.
02:06
There's a guy in the I.T. department of the City of Honolulu
47
126260
3000
ื™ืฉ ื‘ื—ื•ืจ ื‘ืžื—ืœืงืช ืžืขืจื›ื•ืช ืžื™ื“ืข ื‘ืขื™ืจื™ืช ื”ื•ื ื•ืœื•ืœื•
02:09
who saw this app and realized
48
129260
2000
ืฉืจืื” ืืช ื”ืืคืœื™ืงืฆื™ื” ื•ื”ื‘ื™ืŸ
02:11
that he could use it, not for snow,
49
131260
2000
ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ื•ื›ืœ ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื”, ืœื ืœืฉืœื’,
02:13
but to get citizens to adopt tsunami sirens.
50
133260
4000
ืืœื ื›ื“ื™ ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื™ืืžืฆื• ืกื™ืจื ืช ืฆื•ื ืืžื™.
02:17
It's very important that these tsunami sirens work,
51
137260
2000
ื–ื” ืžืื•ื“ ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืฉืื–ืขืงื•ืช ื”ืฆื•ื ืืžื™ ื”ืืœื• ื™ืขื‘ื“ื•,
02:19
but people steal the batteries out of them.
52
139260
2000
ืื‘ืœ ืื ืฉื™ื ื’ื•ื ื‘ื™ื ืืช ื”ืกื•ืœืœื•ืช ืžื”ืŸ.
02:21
So he's getting citizens to check on them.
53
141260
2000
ืื– ื”ื•ื ื“ื•ืื’ ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื™ื‘ื“ืงื• ืื•ืชืŸ.
02:23
And then Seattle decided to use it
54
143260
3000
ื•ืื– ืกื™ืื˜ืœ ื”ื—ืœื™ื˜ื” ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื–ื”
02:26
to get citizens to clear out clogged storm drains.
55
146260
3000
ื›ื“ื™ ืœื’ืจื•ื ืœืื ืฉื™ื ืœื ืงื•ืช ื ื™ืงื•ื–ื™ ืกืขืจื” ืกืชื•ืžื™ื.
02:29
And Chicago just rolled it out
56
149260
2000
ื•ืฉื™ืงื’ื• ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ื”ืฉื™ืงื” ืื•ืชื”
02:31
to get people to sign up to shovel sidewalks when it snows.
57
151260
3000
ื›ื“ื™ ืฉืื ืฉื™ื ื™ืจืฉืžื• ืœื ืงื•ืช ืžื“ืจื›ื•ืช ืžืฉืœื’.
02:34
So we now know of nine cities
58
154260
2000
ืื– ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื ืขืœ ืชืฉืข ืขืจื™ื
02:36
that are planning to use this.
59
156260
2000
ืฉืžืชื›ื•ื•ื ื•ืช ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื–ื”.
02:38
And this has spread just frictionlessly,
60
158260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ื”ืชืคืฉื˜ ืžืžืฉ ืœืœื ื—ื™ื›ื•ืš,
02:40
organically, naturally.
61

2000
ื‘ืฆื•ืจื” ืื•ืจื’ื ื™ืช, ื˜ื‘ืขื™ืช.
02:42
If you know anything about government technology,
62

02:44
you know that this isn't how it normally goes.
63

ืืชื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื ืฉื–ื” ืœื ืื™ืš ืฉื–ื” ื‘ื“ืจืš ื›ืœืœ ืขื•ื‘ื“.
02:48
Procuring software usually takes a couple of years.

ืงื ื™ื™ืช ืชื•ื›ื ื•ืช ื‘ื“ืจืš ื›ืœืœ ืœื•ืงื—ืช ื›ืžื” ืฉื ื™ื.
02:51
We had a team that worked on a project in Boston last year
65

ื”ื™ื” ืœื ื• ืฆื•ื•ืช ืฉืขื‘ื“ ืขืœ ืคืจื•ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื‘ื‘ื•ืกื˜ื•ืŸ ื‘ืฉื ื” ืฉืขื‘ืจื”
02:54
that took three people about two and a half months.
66
174260
3000
ืฉืœืงื— ืœืฉืœื•ืฉื” ืื ืฉื™ื ื—ื•ื“ืฉื™ื™ื ื•ื—ืฆื™.
02:57
It was a way that parents could figure out
67
177260
2000
ื–ื• ื”ื™ื™ืชื” ื“ืจืš ื‘ื” ื”ื•ืจื™ื ื™ื•ื›ืœื• ืœืžืฆื•ื
02:59
which were the right public schools for their kids.

03:01
We were told afterward that if that had gone through normal channels,

3000
ื ืืžืจ ืœื ื• ืœืื—ืจ ืžื›ืŸ ืฉืื ื”ื™ื™ื ื• ืขื•ื‘ืจื™ื ื‘ืฆื™ื ื•ืจื•ืช ื”ืžืงื•ื‘ืœื™ื,
03:04
it would have taken at least two years

3000
ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืœื•ืงื— ืœืคื—ื•ืช ืฉื ืชื™ื™ื
03:07
and it would have cost about two million dollars.

ื•ื”ื™ื” ืขื•ืœื” ืœืคื—ื•ืช ืฉื ื™ ืžืœื™ื•ืŸ ื“ื•ืœืจ.
03:10
And that's nothing.
72
190260
2000
ื•ื–ื” ื›ืœื•ื.
03:12
There is one project in the California court system right now
73

that so far cost taxpayers

ืฉืขืœื” ืขื“ ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืœืžืฉืœื ื”ืžื™ืกื™ื

75
196260
2000
ืฉื ื™ ืžื™ืœื™ืืจื“ ื“ื•ืœืจ,
03:18
and it doesn't work.
76
198260
2000
ื•ื”ื•ื ืœื ืขื•ื‘ื“.
03:20
And there are projects like this

200260
2000
ื•ื™ืฉ ืคืจื•ื™ื™ืงื˜ื™ื ื›ืืœื”

78
202260
2000
ื‘ื›ืœ ืจืžื” ืฉืœ ื”ืžืžืฉืœื”.
03:24
So an app that takes a couple of days to write

and then spreads virally,
80
208260
2000
ื•ืื– ืœื”ืคื™ืฅ ื•ื™ืจืืœื™ืช,
03:30
that's sort of a shot across the bow

And because government

ultimately derives its power from us --

326260
2000
ื•ื›ืžื• ื”ืจื‘ื” ืื ืฉื™ื,
05:28

ืื– ืกืงื•ื˜ ื“ื™ื‘ืจ ืื“ื ืœืื“ื.
