The presidential campaign Stateside has started an exciting buzz about the partnership between technology and politics. Tomorrow the Orange Future of Politics report will be launched at a lunchtime debate at Westminster and The Feed is going to be there.
Written with expert trend watchers Future Laboratory and drawing on ideas from MPs, bloggers and from within Orange itself, the report examines the exciting ways technology could transform politics in the UK.
We're particularly intrigued by Wikilaws that would allow the public to have their say about new legislation, and the concept of MPs interacting with voters through realtime online discussion. The use of holographic projection could become an everyday occurrence in Parliament, as the image of David Cameron being beamed into the Commons shows above. This kind of technology means there would be nothing to stop one of us beaming in to take part in Prime Minister's Questions. Wow.
The digital gauntlet has been thrown down and later this week we'll be reporting back on the core concepts. We'll also have a video with all the highlights, but in the meantime you can read the report in full by visiting the Orange Press Office and downloading the report from the right hand side.
