Put it in Bullets!

I agree with my colleague Jack that the CIA and the intelligence community, generally suffers from an incredible lack of technological foresight, or, even aesthetic inspiration. The CIA's official web presence is characterized by early 90's hyper linked, visibly highlighted text and difficulty of navigation. What the CIA needs is the sort of fluidity and "flash," interactivity of white.gov, a site that previously suffered the same sort of aesthetic and functionality ailments. Whereas picture less, visibly hyper linked text was previously the norm, it is no longer so and the CIA's website must reflect accordingly.

Furthermore, the CIA and the other reviewed intelligence website-the Office of the Intelligence Director, are fatigued from the same problem that the majority of other governmental agencies and departments face, which is an over emphasis on written text. Most Americans do not want to wade through paragraph after paragraph of written text cascading in the glory of the agency---put the shit in bullet points, something that will simultaneously reduce website clutter and appeal to the Adderal attention spans of our citizenry.

The intelligence community as portrayed in "Three Days of a Condor," another film that I practically fell out of my chair in boredom while watching, can be said to be rather accurate. Depictions of inter-departmental and agency suspicions and politicking are largely the types of behavior that have been reportedly at play within said institutions. While certainly dealing with issues of utmost national security, these agencies and organizations still rely on human occupation which is "dog eat dog."

I was not awake nor alert enough to capture the concluding blog answer. Again, the sheer lack of physicality in the plot, combined with wretched soundtrack music and a general feeling of fatigue, precluded me from capturing the entirety of the film in any way that I could honestly state its impact.
