Mindthegap entry from Ivo Gormley

The Experience…
People on the tube are silent but they get very close to me. Maybe they are very interesting and perhaps they are thinking about the same things as me. We might have an interesting debate, maybe we both want to talk about football… they may even have the answers to my problems?

Wouldn’t it be better if….
people had the chance of connecting to each other on their Journeys. At the moment its difficult to start a conversation, it might be easier if we could some how signify that we wanted to talk and what we wanted to talk about. Perhaps this could be organised by having “talking coaches” that were labeled for different types of conversation. These could change daily due to popular demand. Admittedly rush hour might mean you get stuck in the Amy Whinehouse carriage for half an hour, but for the rest of the time I think it would improve things.

Anyone can enter MindtheGap - you just need to care about public services and be able to express how they could be better. The entry form is here. You can win a Wii or an Asus EEE PC.

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
