In a world in which information is like air, what happens to power?

New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organisation. This project brings together leading practitioners and thinkers in this field and asks them to determine the opportunity for government.
"I think this participative technology, social software as people call it, can transform individual lives, firms, government and it is not all about sort of broad capitalist attitudes. I think it can affect some of the things people really care about such as health, education, welfare."

Notes


Clay Shirkey's ideas have been incredibly inspiring to me, and came at a time when I was being challenged to formalise the transition work in New Zealand. I feel that we have created something over the last two years that would not have evolved to the level it has, if it had been driven from within a structured organisation.
