A new report gives a fully researched insight into how nations within the OECD are using and benefitting from – our losing out to – the digital economy. "Measuring the Digital Economy: A New Perspective" shows how governments can better engage with their citizens through the medium of online communication. The report will be published in November. Developments like cloud computing, mobile technology, social networking and big data analytics are making possible the future of what the report calls ‘smart everything’. By this they mean homes, energy, healthcare, business processes, transport, grids and of course governments.
