Good reason for a small city to go back to paper records or disconnect vital information from the internet.

I am convinced this mania to computerize everything in City government is financially stupid.

I have long believed it costs far more than it's worth to keep this crap going. Cities used to not have computers, and guess what? They still operated.

What has all these computer systems and networks done that makes them worth as much as they cost to buy, and then to pay entire departments to keep them running?

Do they actually save any taxpayer money, or are they merely a convenience for bureaucrats?

I think City owned computer networks are a scam, but everyone goes along with it because it creates the appearance of "technological advancement" and sophistication.

On a nuts and bolts level, it really costs far more than alternative methodology.
