How the federal budget became unlocked and allowed the digital world in?

The federal budget is like a piggy bank that lets the government spend money on things like roads, schools, and even digital world stuff like your favorite video game or the internet.

Imagine you have a big piggy bank. Every year, the government gets some new coins to put in it, this is called the federal budget. When the piggy bank has enough coins, the government can spend them on things like roads or schools. But if they want to bring in something new, like the internet or computers, they need more coins.

Sometimes, the government doesn’t have enough coins at first, it’s like when you want to buy a toy but only have 10 cents and the toy costs $5. That's why the budget became unlocked, it means they got more coins (money) so they could build things like computers, phones, and even the internet.

Once the piggy bank was full enough, the government could spend money on technology, which is how we got to have things like tablets, video games, and even your favorite apps. It's like when you get more coins in your piggy bank, suddenly you can buy that toy and a candy bar too!
