Toward a New Future of “Whatever” (Technology and Personal Democracy)
      


Here is the video from my recent talk at the Personal Democracy Forum at Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The gathering may have been the highest concentration of amazingly creative and concerned global citizens I have ever been around.

Nobody there was blindly optimistic, thinking technology was going to make everything better. They were all continually trying to figure out where we are, where we might be going, and the possible downsides and dangers of new technologies so we can use the new technologies to serve human purposes. In other words, it was my kind of crowd.
