Government Technology recently asked several state and local CIOs to prognosticate about the future. Their answers in the video below might surprise you.

The CIO from Utah I believe made the most sense. The future is here now. The trend is platform independent apps. Also I do not believe in the pipe dream that everyone is going to have a mobile device in near future. The only way that is going to happen if the government, like I CIO suggested, gives them away. Remember everyone said that about the cell phone, the laptop and the PC. As much as we hate to believe there are still a good number of people that still do not have either one.
