Welcome to

There’s been a recent trend in the way politics is run. The political machines are shifting a lot of campaign funds into the internet. Still the ad of choice is television but i’m positive that in the near future, internet will be the focus. The internet is fast. News changes second by second and the internet is the only medium that can follow it. The new generation is already relying on the internet for entertainment and news. Its only natural that the slower business and political machines follow. Facebook recently announced the partnership with ABC news. This is big news and marks another milestone for facebook. The company is inching closer and closer to myspace and who know, maybe it will make a friendster out of myspace. Voting seems only natural to shift towards the internet.

Looking at American Idol and the NBA’s all star balloting shows that positive effects of voting via web. I think voting will rise once it gets online. No more going to the balloting booth or mailing in anything. The fear of hacking is an issue but didn’t Bush fix the election not to long ago. Internet can be made safe. Look at all the online banking systems. Why doesn’t the goverment make more internet functions. That would speed up the delayed process with immigration, taxes, and payments. Imagine a future where everything from your parking ticket to your DMV records can be done fast from the comfort of your own home.

I guess my children will have a bright future if only we don’t destroy the planet first.
