Creating Technology for Social Change

Forum: Our World Digitized: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

MIT Communications Forum, April 10, 2008

Speakers:
Yochai Benkler and Cass Sunstein, moderated by Henry Jenkins

Much discussion of our impending digital future is insular and without nuance. Skeptics talk mainly among themselves, while utopians and optimists also keep company mainly within their own tribal cultures. The forum challenges this unhelpful division, staging a conversation between two of our country’s most thoughtful and influential writers on the promise and the perils of the Internet Age.
