“Rheingold recounts how the development of communication technology has removed the power top transmit messages from a tiny elite, and had been a force for democratization. Following Benkler’s idea of peer production he explains how the diffusion of many-to-many communication technologies enables new forms of collective action.”

Rheinhold has the integrity and knowledge that can only come with age. Wonderful video. I love Rheinhold but must admit that I am, by nature, not as optimistic as he is as to where this is all heading.
