I took the opportunity of an invitation to address the Fifth General Assembly of The International Parliamentarians' Association for Information Technology (IPAIT), held in the Finnish Parliament, Helsinki, January 16, 2007, to ask the parliamentarians gathered from around the world to reflect on current forms of parliamentary democracy as once-brilliant social inventions of the late 18th century, now woefully out of date. I reminded them of the worldviews and technologies early Founding Fathers (and they were all male) had available to them, compared to now. I noted that although there had been many opportunities to reinvent governance since the 1770s, all governments everywhere are still only marginally-improved versions of the 18th Century models. The members of IPAIT are all elected parliamentarians who are expert in the use of information technologies (IT) for governing purposes. While congratulating them for endeavoring to integrate IT into modern governance, I said it was like putting headlights on a horse and buggy: while they probably could see farther down the road, they were still in a horse and buggy whereas they should be in a spaceship by now, if governments were to keep pace with the other changes going on around them. I challenged them to use IPAIT to begin a worldwide dialog and process leading to new democratic governance systems based on cutting-edge technologies and worldviews, and new and continuing challenges and opportunities from the futures. I dare you also, dear reader, to engage in this vital process.
