| Do readers remember Hancock's disastrous "Track & trace" system brought in to stem illness and fatalities during covid 19? It relied first on the majority of users having a smart phone, those who did being conversant with the technology, plus too heavy a reliance on peoples' honesty. It was never going to be successful, and it resulted on a waste of taxpayers money to the tune of £34m, not forgetting the salaries of the civil servants employed to monitor the system. A prime example of an over ambitious use of technology. |
