Page "E-democracy" Paragraph 131

Democracy in America has evolved and will continue to evolve to be reliant on the Internet.

This is because the Internet is and will continue to be the primary source of information for most Americans.

It is likely that in the future it will be the primary source of information for all Americans.

The Internet educates people on Democracy and the Democratic culture with its vast collection of information regarding democracy.

The Internet is also constantly being updated with news on America's elections and politics, helping people stay up to date with what is happening in their government.

Online advertising is becoming more popular for political candidates and group's opinions on propositions.

The Internet contains almost all available information on these topics and if a person sees information regarding these topics on the Internet, then chances are that that person will research them on the Internet.

Just glancing over an advertisement can be enough to provoke the initial interest in the topic, which can lead to further research.

Being able to get all of the information needed about a candidate around the clock as well as being able to vote over the Internet is more appealing to younger voters who have become eligible to vote within the last few years.

Having the luxury and convenience of the Internet for shopping, researching, etc.

has made younger voters who were raised using a computer less excited about going to vote.

Some new voters make it seem like they would rather live in a dictatorship then go to a voting booth.
