How The Internet Will Transform Government

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Kevin S. Willis

Although I think the application is a little broader: the Internet is already transforming everything. The first example Clay Shirky cites is that of a girl who took pictures of her school lunch every day, and then was told she had to take it down.

As he points out: why did the school think they could get away with it? Because for the entire history of humanity up until this point, they pretty much could.

Doesn’t make me optimistic about the possibility that the Internet will lead to world peace, however.
