Bridging the Gap part 2

So the form of media that i'm most likely going to use to communicate between the public and government is going to be in the form of interactive touch screens. Technology today allows us to make these items simply and easily. Products such as smart-phones and tablet computers have advanced touch screen displays of all sizes and also in projector formats using laser technology to calculate the location of the "touch".

My idea is basically to create a touch screen interface system which allows people to see read and see news about new political changes in plain and simple english, detailing its impacts on the community and surrounding area and also why they are being implemented. People will then be able to provide feedback on these issues as they will be better informed and also the feedback will be more relevant as they will be able to better understand the issues at hand.
This doesn't mean that these screens will be limited to provide information about politics. They will inform the public about certain information relevant in that particular area.
E.g. if located at a bus station the information provided may be:
-bus timetable
-weather
-political information
-changes to anything public transport e.g. price increases or busway upgrading etc
