阿根廷活动人士皮亚·曼奇尼在TEDGlobal 2014上发出追问：互联网时代的民主应当是什么样的？她与伙伴们共同开发了开源平台DemocracyOS，将国会法案转化为通俗语言供公民讨论，并亲身参与选举，以实际行动探索政治体制的革新之路。
面对这一重要问题，曼奇尼和她的伙伴们没有坐等答案，而是着手创造答案——他们设计了DemocracyOS.org。DemocracyOS.org是一款开源网络应用程序，旨在成为公民之间的沟通桥梁。阿根廷国会提交的每一项法案都会在该应用上即时转化为通俗易懂的语言。更大胆的是，曼奇尼和她的同事们去年参加了选举。他们虽未获胜，但赢得了一定影响力，下个月国会将使用DemocracyOS就三项立法与公民展开讨论。曼奇尼说：”这是我们破解政治体制的方式。”
