Internet and Plebocracy

Most of contemporary Democracy is indirect, i. e. requires representatives of the voters to function, with the referendum as the exception.  It is difficult to diagnose the extent to which discontents with those Democracies, e. g. complaints about 'big government', or even resistance to 'government' per se, are attributable to the displacement of the 'will of the people' that is involved, but it is not difficult to conceive that alienation correlates directly to distance between voter and action.  Furthermore, the necessity of intermediaries only increases the susceptibility of a Democracy to being hijacked by a Plutocracy.  Now, plainly, Representational Democracy is at least in part a consequence of a diachronic available Means of Communication, e. g. the time-lapse between entering a paper ballot at one location, and executing it at another. That contingency implies that Democracy is not essentially Representational, i. e. under other conditions, it can be direct and participatory, a term for which can be Plebocracy.  Specifically, with the availability of an interactive Means of Communication in which diachronicity is minimal, i. e. the Internet, Plebocracy is less unfeasible than it has been, and may be the system of the nascent Global Village.  As has been previously discussed, Wikipedia is an example of a Plebocratic process--egalitarian, collective, and direct, that perhaps foreshadows a general condition.
