Government of the Future (1981)

nestling of the eighties were present with two possible futures for political science in the bookWorld of Tomorrow : School , Work and Play . The first scenario is a nightmarish dystopia where governments track their citizens ’ every move and estimator are curtailing freedoms across the globe . The second possible future is a utopia nearly attain some manakin ofdirect commonwealth , bring on by the home computer and videophones , which enable citizens to become extremely engaged in the political process .

It would come out that those of us living in “ the future ” wound up with a second of both . Governments all over the world are certainly using technology to descry on their citizens — though I would wager that Visa , Apple and Google know more about me than the U.S. politics . But the phylogeny of tools like Twitter and YouTube has also ply your average citizen with easier ways to politically organize and educate .

Whatever your flavour on engineering ’s part in government , I recollect we can all agree on one political truism … I ’m good and those other bozo are imbecile .

Some people venerate that computers will dominate our life in the future . They believe that information on everyone will be stored in computing machine , and that government functionary will be able to find out anything about anyone at any time . It is possible that this will happen , and that some government will use computers to restrict people ’s exemption . However , it is just as potential that information processing system will make political science more open in the future tense , and earmark masses more say in the agency they are governed .

In a future where every domicile has a videophone computer organisation , everyone could take part in government . People could spill the beans and publicize their views to others on special communication channels yoke every home . These people would most likely be representatives of some sort — of a political party , a wedlock , an industriousness and so on . But when the time comes to make a decisiveness on any issue , everyone would be able to vote by instructing their calculator . A central computer would instantly announce the outcome .

This kind of political science by the people is a possibility that the figurer will bring . It could take place on any scale — from village councils up to domain government . In fact , it is more potential to happen in small communitites , as it would be difficult to attain effective national and external determination , if millions of people always had to be asked to O.K. everything . Nevertheless , the computer will enable really important decisions to be put before the people and not decided by mathematical group or politicians .

The estimator could also affect the shipway in which politico will knead . They could talk about the issues that affect the people they lay out over public communicating net that would replace governemtn gathering . In this mode representative could live among their elector and get to know them and their opinion much better .
