The internet is the greatest invention of modern history - a multifaceted tool that could provide 8 billion individuals with the ability to instantly communicate on a planetary scale. It is the nervous system of our civilization, with our culture intertwined with every facet of its complexity. It is both the answer and the arbiter of our problems, and how we learn to coexist with this technology will determine the future of our technologically integrated species.
Cindy Cohn is the Executive Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, The leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation. Cindy stands at the forefront of the fight to ensure a “free and open” internet, one that empowers the user with security and privacy, while maximizing the capabilities of this astounding technology. She is calling for the re-decentralization of the internet, to ensure that the very structure of this technology is serving the needs of the average citizen, rather than the most powerful organizations on the planet.
It is time to question the reality that you have always accepted when you log on to the world wide web, and to ask yourself if this could be done better. Our governments, our cultures, our countries, and our future hangs in the balance.
