Show Us A Better Way winner. 10:47am on 11 Nov 2008 Sad, I know, but my IT colleagues fell about when I related Mr. Watson's gaffe to them, as did my fourteen-year-old son. I'm afraid any credibility the minister had built up over the course of a fairly reasonable interview came crashing down round his ears with that slip. According to the Cabinet Office website he 'has a well-established interest in technology' - or what passes for it in government circles, perhaps.
I suppose surprise is rather a naive reaction when we consider our illustrious tradition of failed public-sector IT projects, or the fact that the government are asking the general public for suggestions for the next one!
