Computer User Corner: Civic Activism
At a time when bureaucratic procedures are less frequently performed on paper, each user of a wearable computer has the ability to send, with the help of his device, allegations of violation of the landscaping procedures, the work of departments and traffic regulations to the appropriate executive agencies.

Regional governments and initiative citizens of the country have created electronic services, presented in the form of websites and applications for OS, wearable devices, using which you can send appeals on violations of improvement, and in some cases also work of state institutions. The principle of operation is the same: the user, by selecting the appropriate category, creates a message, including a brief description of the problem, the exact location and, if desired, a photograph; then the message is checked for compliance with the selected category and clarity and is sent to the appropriate department, which, in turn, must give an answer within the stated period and solve the problem.

" The assistant of Moscow ", released in August 2015, the first seven months of its existence only allowed to report cases of non-payment of parking. In the middle of March of the current year, the possibility was added to declare about parking and stops in prohibited places.
