Um, no, government doesn’t always get technology wrong: the basic structure of the internet was provided by the ARPAnet (from back when DARPA was just called ARPA), the http protocol came out of CERN (okay, not the U.S. government, but government nontheless), and then there’s the GPS system. Sometimes government gets technology right.
