With all the computer problems that the government has had recently, like with security, and things working properly, is it really worth them using them at all?

Computers are suppose to be able to help out alot, but in some cases, they obvisouly havn't. The DVLA and the Child support agency have both been on Watchdog recently because people have have been charged the wrong amount or money has been taken when it shouldn't have and as we know there have been plenty of security issues recently.

Is it just that they are incompetent with these computer systems, or are computers really not a good way of dealing with all this. Maybe next time they want to spend millions of pounds on making a safer system, they could switch to a manual one, which people might be better at using. But I suppose we wouldn;t want to risk the possibilty that someones piece of paper goes missing or that someone breaks into the filing cabinet.
