The internet stands accused of dividing us, spying on us, making us stupid, & addicting our children. In response, the press & panicked politicians seek greater regulation & control, which some fear could ruin the web before we are finished building it.
Jeff Jarvis is convinced we can have a saner conversation about the internet. Examining the web's past, present & future, he says that many of the problems the media lays at the internet's door are the result of our own failings. The internet did not make us hate; we brought our bias, bigotry & prejudice with us online. That's why even well-intentioned regulation will fail to fix hate speech & misinformation & may instead imperil the freedom of speech the internet affords to all. Jarvis says that once we understand the internet for what it is-a human network-we can reclaim it from the nerds, pundits, & pols who are in charge now & turn our attention where it belongs: to fostering community, conversation,and creativity online.
Join us as he comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs & discusses these issues, raised in his new book The Web We Weave.
