Picture this; waking up Monday morning, and then getting ready for work. You’re already on your way, but you’re stuck with the reality that the majority of the traffic lights in the route to the office aren’t working. Afterwards, you arrive 35 minutes late to your office due to the traffic jam caused by those damaged lights. The next day, you complete your morning routine again, and head out to the office. That day, not only did the traffic lights weren’t working, but also you damaged one of your cars’ tires because of a huge hole on the road. Fortunately, you managed to deal with the situation quickly enough to arrive on time to the office. Time passed as you executed your tasks, but when the lunch break came, you couldn’t think of anything else, except how slow the government was being in repairing road damages and traffic lights out of service. “What can you do to let the government know something must be done rapidly to improve those deficiencies?” - you think to yourself. Later that day, you ended up talking to a colleague about your concerns with the inefficiency of the governmental processes to improve the city. Your colleague asks you if you have heard about this new app that lets you report real time complains about things happening in your city. And then tells you that this app has instantly sent his reports to the government and the public official in charge of attending the specific concern you have. Following this further, he tells you that it allows the government to answer quickly to the complains and concerns of the citizens, improving the safety and the development of the cities. Very excited, your colleague tells you that once you download the app, you will be able to contribute to the democracy of your city, and see efficient results in governmental processes. This colleague of yours, has managed to empower the super citizen inside you by encouraging you to download this mobile application. Once you download it, you realize that you have become part of a bigger movement: a movement that promotes democracy and participation by generating the most possible impact over the city. You are now part of the improvement of your city.
