milestone 2?
During the last meeting of our Digital Governance class we discussed how the government is starting to act like a business. Or is trying to act more like a business. I believe it was Eva who mentioned something about Amazon and how they have recommendation lists for customers based on previous purchases.
Wouldn't it be weird if the government could adopt that same formula for voting? So each election year you would receive a list of recommended candidates based on your previous voting habits. This could be based on your stand on issues, party affiliation, anything. So unless your feelings changed radically between elections, it's almost like you wouldn't really even need to vote. Your votes would all be pre-supposed based on your previous actions. A move towards a society without polls where your votes would be assumed, and if you vote once you really wouldn't have to vote again until your views changed. Or maybe you could just submit a form notifying the govenment of your change of view, and they would send you new recommendations. Maybe more people would vote if that one vote would be their political contribution and carry over to similiar candidates for an undetermined amount of time in an undetermined amount of elections.
Just a thought.
