Today we can take part in 21st century-style town meetings and national debates through websites such as America speaks. If your town is registered with participatory sites such as SeeClickFix, you can let your local government know about a road hazard you encountered using your smart phone. Our guest is Jared Duval, a fellow at Demos, a New York-based think tank, and author of "New Generation Democracy: What the Open-source Revolution Means for Power, Politics and Change."
