Key Concepts

Government Approval Process

This concept refers to the way in which governmental systems require formal authorization and review before implementing new technologies. The process is often lengthy and involves multiple layers of bureaucratic decision-making, which can delay the adoption of innovative solutions despite their technical readiness.

Technology Adoption in Government Systems

This idea encompasses the challenges that arise when advanced technologies are introduced for public use. In government settings, even when the technology is fully developed, its integration can be hindered by regulatory inertia, risk aversion, and the often slower pace of policy change compared to rapid technological improvements.

00:05 All right.

00:06 So when we are looking at this question, we don't want to go back and reread the entire passage all over again, right? but we can find keywords in our question and skim our passage again.

00:20 Quickly skim and see if we can find these keywords.

00:25 Once we find those keywords, we can go back and read the sentences around the keywords.

00:31 So the question wants to know what this person says about the reason.

00:35 America isn't using the e -loren system, even though the technology is available.

00:41 So this person's name could be a keyword.

00:44 E -lorin could be a keyword, right? so technology not available could be a keyword.

00:51 So i'm going to go back to my passage and i'm going to skim all of it just very quickly.

00:55 I'm not going to reread the whole thing.

00:56 I'm just going to find these keywords.

01:03 So when you skimmed your passage, you would have found this person's name, john garimendi, on line 58.

01:11 So let's see what it says.

01:14 Why isn't america using it? john garimendi, a california congressman, asked this question at the 2015 congressional hearing on the federal radio navigation plan, the nation's primary planning document for position, navigation, and timing.

01:28 There are two kinds of time, he opened, real time and then federal time, which seems to be.

01:33 Be the forever time.

01:35 The lorne system was identified as a backup 15 years ago, and here we are federal time, not yet done.

01:42 All right.

01:43 So while i'm reading that paragraph, i have to make some interpretations, right? i have to make some assumptions.

01:49 It sounds like what he's saying.

01:50 It's a slow process, right? even though the technology's there, the government's moving a little slow.

01:57 Why aren't we using it yet? well, federal government is mentioned.

02:01 That's a reason why we're not using that technology...
