ITEC 640 Assignment 2 (UMUC)
High-Tech Census Project Fails
Introduction
The Census Bureau had planned to issue more than 500,000 handheld devices to temporary employees to collect personal data on Americans who do not return census forms in the mail. These handhelds were being developed under a $600 million contract awarded to Harris Corp. in 2006. Stumbling over this multibillion-dollar plan for a high-tech census, the government reverted to counting the nation’s 300 million people the old-fashioned way: with paper and pencil (Turban et al., 2013).
