Personal Democracy Forum - The world’s leading conference exploring and analyzing technology's impact on politics and government.
June 6 - 7, 2011
NYU Skirball Center
New York City
Too often, the discussion of technology and politics employs a kind of lazy shorthand. We say things like "The Internet is revolutionizing politics," or "the Internet is helping dictators," as if a set of network protocols and bits and wires could do anything on its own. Unfortunately, that shorthand often infects our discussion of current events, and we end up debating things like "TwitterRevolution" or "Facebook effect" rather than the real issues, which are what people do with these tools. The Internet, after all, doesn't empower anyone. We empower ourselves.
