    Hey, I'm only here predicting the future.
  2. WestCoastRunner
    I am quite sure they aren't. However, they are bound by digital media. Why is that so hard to understand? We need to get with it.
  3. WestCoastRunner
    That is so pathetic. This has no substance.
  4. WestCoastRunner
    Seriously! How do you figure that!
  5. WestCoastRunner
    Heh, maybe so!

    The fact is that young people use iPhones regardless of whether it is business or social. And as far as young folks wasting time on their mobile devices, you simply do not know that for a fact. After all, we are spending our time on this forum and probably on a laptop or desktop and maybe we are neglecting our social interaction. My point is, that people of all ages use digital medium in every aspect of their life. It makes sense to include online voting.

    I would disagree with people staring aimlessly into their blackberry or iphone as being inept at voting. These are the instruments that most young and older folks use when conducting business. To say that we stare aimlessly is a bit biased. We are very busy and we can't be tied down to a laptop so we use our mobile devices. And if we want to vote online, why not?
  8. WestCoastRunner
    If you say so.

    I am not talking 20 year olds. Think 20-30 year olds. They have grown up in the digital and social media age. If we want to engage them in politics and voting, we need to embrace their way of life and habits.
  10. WestCoastRunner
    Online voting will happen. There is no doubt about it. It's a matter of when not if.
  11. WestCoastRunner
    Again, this is missing the point. Society is in the digital era/age, whatever you want to call it. We can do everything online now, buying, filing income tax returns, paying bills, finding a mate, it goes on and on. Why on earth can we not vote online! It is time to move forward. It has nothing to do with laziness on anyone's part. Voting online is something that is going to be demanded in the near future. And, I suppose, that these young people as they get older, they will implement these online voting capabilities. Just as us baby boomers are demanding better health care/facilities to meet our aging needs.

    Oh sorry, I understood this wasn't for tourists. I didn't mean to imply that. Dolphins do mimic humans, it's well documented and just goes to show, that these intelligent mammals should not be captured and put on display.
  13. WestCoastRunner
    Now that is a good argument against online voting! Unfortunately, they won't buy it.
  14. WestCoastRunner
    This is interesting. It reminds me of these resort places that have these 'swim with the dolphins' programs. Some of these programs have dolphins that were captured and taken away from their families in the wild and are now put on display to please the tourists. It's a sad state of affairs.

    Again, you are making this way more complicated. There is a solution. Software development includes business requirements etc.
  16. WestCoastRunner
    No, I'm pretty sure I'm not lost. I understand the whole process.
  17. WestCoastRunner
    I think you are missing the characteristics of a huge demographic of society. Younger people use technology to conduct their day to day activities. That is something that is not going to change and in fact it will only increase. They are probably thinking, "Why would I want to walk 2 blocks to vote", "Why can't I vote online?". "I can do pretty much everything else online, why not vote"? We need to keep up with the trends of our demographics, not so much technology.
  18. WestCoastRunner
    I am not. Who is that?
  19. WestCoastRunner
    I do appreciate the complexities in fact. I work in IT and I am a software programmer. It's not hard to do. It can be done.
  20. WestCoastRunner
    And leave the inhumane ways that are used to capture these mammals behind. Let's move forward in society. We should be able to live side by side with nature. Why do we need to capture them and put them on display.
  21. WestCoastRunner
    I'm quite sure software can be written to ensure that your vote is secret. Online transactions take place everyday with credit card numbers, etc. This is a no-brainer. You are making it much more complicated than it is.
  22. WestCoastRunner
    I think you hit the nail on the head. Secrecy. They are keeping back information, I have no doubt about that. Was it just a coincidence they found those pings in the Indian Ocean??
  23. WestCoastRunner
    How do you know that?
  24. WestCoastRunner
    And let's not forget. We can file our income taxes online now. Mind you, we have to jump through a lot of hoops and fires to do so. Why not have the same procedure to vote. Surely, filing income tax returns online has many more security issues than voting online!
  25. WestCoastRunner
    Of course it isn't a bad thing to vote in person and show your face. But why not implement other measures to increase the number of voters.
