That would be cool. Especially when voting on local issues.
But isn't voting on huge issues like presidental elections kinda pointless precisely because of the new marketing and social tech?

J*mes is that you?
Digital cameras. The whole industry of them is still extremely overpriced and based on proprietary technology and connections.
But the truth is the cameras don't need any kind of fancy electronics in them and they ought to be upgrade-able in the way laptops can be upgraded.
