== Political == In democratic societies, citizens must be well informed about issues, candidates for office, and local affairs. Similarly, a democratic polity requires a well-informed citizenry. Increasingly, [[information technology|information]] and [[communications technologies]] serve these [[information]] needs. The government regularly needs huge amounts of [[information]] to make complex legal and policy decisions. Many government agencies would find it impossible to conduct their daily business without resorting to customized [[information]] on demand. The [[Internal Revenue Service]] and the [[Social Security Administration]], for example, require large [[automated information system]]s to handle the accounts of hundreds of millions of clients. And the operation of national defense depends on the use of complex [[communications system]]s both for day-to-day management of the military establishment and for the command and control of sophisticated weaponry. Citizens' groups and political parties are also relying more heavily on the new [[technologies]] to achieve their aims. [[Technology]], for example, is being used to target voters and potential supporters, [[communicate]] with voters, manage [[information]], and even to design campaign strategies. [[Computer]]s are also being used as lobbying tools.
