What is a possible drawback to direct democracy? how might it be resolved?

Direct democracy would be extremely costly because people would have to vote on every single thing and this would cost time and money to ensure everyone has voted. It couldn't be resolved in early times, but maybe with the age of technology, you could surpass that by having everyone vote online or something similar.

The native americans, spanish, french and americans all name places in our state. the word “arkansas” came from the quapaw indians, by way of early french explorers. at the time of the early french exploration, a tribe of indians, the quapaws, lived west of the mississippi and north of the arkansas river.
