E Government

There are two types of government, Local and National. Both can give online services for people in order to help people.

The website for the national goverment is http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/index.htm?cids=Google_PPC&cre=Store_Front. Services that this provides are taxing your vehicle, applying for driving lessons, self assessment taxing and chacking an MOT record. This saves time as people don't have to go to the post office and can do important work at home.

The website for, in this example, local goverment is http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsite/sccwspages.nsf/LookupWebPagesByTITLE_RTF/Renew+it+online?opendocument. Services that this provides are the ability to re-new library books online, re-new you marriage vows, paying council tax and applying for jobs online. With the local government, you can apply to be a foster parent online. The URL is http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsite/sccwspages.nsf/LookupWebPagesByTITLE_RTF/Becoming+a+foster+carer?opendocument. The benefits are that it is quick and easy to do. The drawbacks of it are you don't know exactly who you are sponsoring because you have not seen them in real life.

Both are very useful because it saves time going to the post office because you can do it on your own computer. The drawbacks are that you could get hacked but on the other hand there is'nt much that somebody could do. Local government website is probably better because you can use services easily without having to go to the places in real life.
