At the beginning of the class, I wasn’t completely sure what Digital Democracy entails.  8 weeks in, I have a better understanding, although I see there are a large group of boundaries that stand in the way of our population as whole from enjoying the all of the benefits of the “digital” aspect of democracy.  I guess it was something I always took for granted as a media designer, thinking that “oh I can put anything online and everyone all over the world can enjoiy it”.  While trying to reach people across oceans, there were people in my own back yard that couldn’t even access my work.  The Digital Divide is a huge hurdle in my eyes, and from my research into online voting that I have done in this class, it is apparent that this hurdle needs to be breached for us to fully utilize the “digital” side of democracy.
