👉 Congressional computing refers to the use of technology and digital tools within Congress to enhance legislative processes, improve communication among lawmakers, and increase transparency for the public. This includes the adoption of electronic voting systems, online legislative research databases, digital collaboration platforms for committee meetings and hearings, and secure communication channels. These tools aim to streamline workflows, facilitate real-time data analysis, and ensure that legislative activities are more accessible and efficient. However, the implementation of such technology also raises concerns about cybersecurity, data privacy, and the digital divide, necessitating ongoing efforts to secure and equitably distribute these resources.
