The Internet and Capitol Hill
Today at a class luncheon we discussed the use of the internet in politics. This goes back to the lecture about 2 weeks ago where we had guest speaker Dr. Johnson. He mentioned how at the beginning no one used the computers as tools in their offices, but sadly some of my class mates now believe that the internet is losing it's impact. Staffers admitted to emails being chunked since it was simply to much and it even appeared that the impact of a constantly letter was losing value. This is so disturbing. We all keep hearing how great the internet is, but I am curious to know if anyone has looked at this disturbing trend??

I actually think the trend will wear out itself. They might ignore the emails now, but people are organizing on the internet, which means they'll turn the people out of office who don't build a relationship with their constituents - or at least give them a run for their warchest to teach them a lesson.
