The democratic singularity
Submitted by mostafa on Thu, 2005-07-07 02:36;:A technological singularity is a predicted time at which technological progress accelerates beyond the ability of present-day humans to fully comprehend or predict.

I don't know if the political climate before the technological singularity have ever been discussed. But I am sure someone did and I am probably not aware. Which in itself means that we are still far from the singularity.
I speculate that today's democracy (in the world, I am not talking about Egypt) would be pushed towards an extreme form of [direct democracy|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy]. Direct democracy basically means citizens would be able to vote on every law being passed. And that citizens could start initiatives and almost write their own laws. And that they can recall the politicians with petitions and the like.
