1.      Political Process
      The fist site explains the different types of technology that could be implemented when voting, lobbying which is persuading legislators to vote for something, and the free movement of data. It shows pros and cons and it seems to be a reasonable web page.

2.       Government Administration
This website also shows the different uses of technology. There may not be exact definitions and ideas of the statements but it give a good general idea. It may be outdated and unreliable
4.       Police
It shows a few ways on the technology used in the police such as video surveilance and DNA tests. Its shows very few information and it may not be very reliable
6.       Rebel and Terrorist
It shows a lot of data but it may be too much. It doesnt go straight to the point but it defines the concepts properly. It is a reliable source.
7.       Politics - Berlusconi Google Bombing Video
This is a perfect example of "Google Bombing", where an user types 'miserable' and it is redirected to Italy's Government website. This method can be used to show contempt towards a group or organism, rebellion or just for having fun. In most of the cases these attacks are towards governments.

8.       Online Data Collection Video
This video talks about how data collection has improved since 20 years ago. The video talks about the KGB and how has technology improved since. This is very useful for every government
