Name: Jason Beckerman
From: New Jersey
Bio: Futurist Enthusiest
Area of Expertise: Futurist/Consultant
Topic: Global Relationships/Politics
Headline: On-Demand Political Voting
Nutshell: All electronic appliances will be networked together; this will allow dynamic voting of open political issues to provide on demand statistics about what the democracy is feeling on an issue.
Vision:I believe that in time, the digital divide will disapear as technology production capacities are increased. Once this occurs, we will see governments give tax breaks of some kind in order to poll the democracy on daily issues that the elected officials have to take part in voting on. This will bring democracy to a new level allowing all voices to be heard on all issues. This will also make sure that people who are uneducated stay within the political process.
