text: Another risk of digitization and e-government (without openness, that is) is lack of contact between 
  
  citizens and institutions: 
  
  *"Prior to digitization, land records in India were available to people who made*
  *requests with village accountants for them. .. after digitization of several services,*
  *village accountants no longer personally visit the villages they are in charge of... What*
  *has happened with digitization is a reorganization of earlier forms of social and*
  *political relations. Accountability has moved from the immediate village level"*
  
  Of course, all these problems existed well before computers and return every time the political or 
  
  social order changes. The demand for Open Data is only increasing, by orders of magnitude, the 
  
  numbers of times in which we meet them.
