Advocating for a Healthier Online Political Ecology
| As the Internet has become the juggernaut that shakes all things
economic, so has the Internet been as disruptive a force to politics as
the previous revolutions in mass media: the printing press, radio and
television broadcasting. But unlike those other revolutionary media,
the Internet provides everyone the opportunity to produce their own
words, to allow for instantaneous and permanent archiving, applications
that can automate collaboration, indexing and combining
everyones input. Within this revolution is the opportunity to create a
common technological and political grammar for the Internet that can
reduce the noise of ignorance and increase the possibilities of
meaningful conversation. Advocating for a Healthier Online Political Ecology
is a site/idea/wish that will focus on projects that will improve the ability of citizens and government to communicate productively. - Daniel Bennett (daniel (at) citizencontact.com) |
