This talk describes how user experience professional can aim their skills where they are desperately needed: at our interfaces to government. What would happen if we felt about government the way we feel about our iphones? Can we insist that interfaces to government can be simple, beautiful, and easy to use? Code for America is creating these simple, beautiful interfaces and showing what's possible; we want more UX practitioners to join the cause!
