From my experience as a US government-adjacent worker, there are a few agencies that are really working hard to drag the govt into the present. The General Service Administration's digital efforts (login.gov, Digital Strategy, etc.) are fighting inertia to try to modernize the gov't. Additionally, the public research being done at NASA/NIH/other labs requires a lot of infrastructure—and that's spilling over into other labs and agencies.
However, it's all fighting the insane bureaucratic system that requires mountains of paperwork to do anything, as well as requirements to contract out jobs to expensive and shitty contractors.
