Check out this article in Popular Science that suggests bringing some of the efficiencies discovered in popular online communities like Wikipedia and Facebook and applying them to government. Given McCain’s general ignorance of all things involving computers and Obama’s already stated support for a “google for government”, I think he’d be the most likely candidate to bring these changes about, so let’s hope that something weird doesn’t happen in the next few days that would land a 72 year old and a proud Creationist in the White House – not exactly the way to secure better democracy through technology.
