The Internet

Oct. 18,2008

How has the Internet affected the way Americans approach democracy?
i think that one way that americas approach democracy is by the news, news paper, etc. but one main thing, is the internet because its always open to anyone and they see the events and democratic parties between the candidates and they are able to see what is going on with the imprtance of the government. "For example people are able to look at different Internet sites and compare them, and then from there decide where they stand, based on the information they read. I think that this presidential campaign has drawn people in more and more because one group of people say one thing and another group say something else, that's why I feel like the debates have been a hit this year because citizens, especially the “undecided” ones are more tuned to hearing from the actual candidate." This quote from Nyachare's page is so true beacuse they see on the internet of what to vote for and this quote pretty much explains both Nyachare and my opinion on what the internet does.

How does the Internet and it's effects fit into the historical context of technology and democracy in America?
i think that the internet goes into the historical context of technology because you can communicate faster and that is important because today the world runs faster and people keep going and going.
