For my final project, I am interested in the question: How will the digital revolution impact the way that government/democracy works?
This project should answer the following questions:
-How will it change the status quo?
-Will it make things better, more efficient?
-What challenges will it present?
-Will it help more people get involved?
Here are a few examples of sites that relate to democracy and the Internet:
President-elect Obama's site
This site was launched after the election of President-elect Barack Obama as a tool to communicate to the public regarding his policies and the transition to the presidency. Technologically, it's unprecedented and will change how politicians communicate with the public.
E-Democracy Issues List
This site is the home repository for an e-mail listserve for people in Minneapolis to discuss city issues. It provides links to community papers and resources and allows people a forum to discuss civic issues. It was started (and is managed) by MinnPost writer David Brauer.
Minnesota Politics Issues Forum
This site is a forum with an e-mail listserve for the public to discuss Minnesota politics and policy issues. The issues it covers have some overlap with the Minneapolis E-Democracy Issues list, but it is state wide. Also, it claims to be the longest running e-mail group in the world.
