Came across this video just now and although it does not fit particularly well with the focus of this blog I wanted to share it anyway.
Assuming the internet provides a catolyst for change is a somewhat naive. No notes here just watch as Evgeny Morozov presents an alternative take on 'cyber-utopianism' - the seductive idea that the internet plays a largely emancipatory role in global politics.
Exposing some idealistic myths about freedom and technology (during Iran's 'twitter revolution' fewer than 20,000 Twitter users actually took part), Evgeny argues for some realism about the actual uses and abuses of the internet. Tweet
