NH Governor talks tech policy

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch also focused on modernizing his state's healthcare system. The Democrat said in his speech that he wants the Granite State to be the first in the country to allow all of its providers to prescribe medications electronically.
"We must increase the use of technology and make sure doctors are coordinating patient care," he said. "We must focus on helping people stay healthy, and on them taking responsibility for keeping themselves healthy."
Lynch also listed online child safety among his priorities for the upcoming year. He pushed lawmakers to move quickly on legislation he proposed in December that would require sex offenders to register their e-mail addresses and online identities, and enhance the state's criminal penalties for soliciting sex from minors via the Internet.
"With technology we can sit in our living rooms and pay our bills or keep in touch with friends and family with just a couple of clicks," Lynch said. "Unfortunately, technology also makes it easier for criminals to sneak into our homes."
