The aspirational vs the real of ‘peer to peer’ ideals!
Martijn Arets of Crowd Expedition interviews Ethan Zuckerman, at The Next Web Europe in Amsterdam. He is the director of the MIT Center for Civic Media and the author most recently of Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection”.
Question: why are we talking so much “about” the refugees and migrants, but not actually meeting them and getting to know them.
From the shownotes to the video:
At The Next Web Europe in Amsterdam I had the opportunity to talk to Ethan Zuckerman. Wikipedia describes him as: “American media scholar, blogger, and Internet activist. He is the director of the MIT Center for Civic Media and the author most recently of Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection”. Since I am thinking, talking and researching about the impact of digital platforms and reputation systems on society, I needed to talk to this guy. Enjoy!
