New Technology

New technology would mediate and disseminate information directly from politicians to citizens. Politicians publish a political report by means of journals, essays, question ares, and digital video. When citizens are presented with a question, they must have access to a video and an essay from each, and every, political party. This information should reveal the stance taken by that particular party on that particular matter. The digital database collected could easily be computed and used to advance political science. The media can report the news based on these political reports.

Today, much of the necessary information dissemination is through the media and we all understand that any communication is more at risk to be distorted or abused when mediated through more entities. This method of information dissemination will make it much easier for the citizen to approach the necessary information, it also enables her to make a deliberated and a responsible decision on that particular matter. Interesting consequential developments include: the elimination of paper bills and receipts all together, and developing an economy without cash - all transactions digital - an important step towards eradicating the black market.
