Week 3 7/16 Thing 7

Wikipedia has the potential to change the way our culture processes ideas. As a repository of common knowledge, I think it's brilliant. Who knows what other user-created content websites will follow in its wake?

Imagine: voting on issues done by EVERY SINGLE citizen. F*ck those clowns in Congress, let's all decide on everything. Anyone with access to a computer could cast their vote, even on such trivialities as House resolutions or Senate sub-committee hearings. A truly engaged and engaging populace of voters, without burden of politicians.

Imagine: real-time transfers of medical data to health professionals and patients. No waiting on test results. Get your MRI and find out whether it's a fracture in the same day. Have a biopsy and leave the office knowing your status.

It could happen.
