Our World Digitized: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly April 10, 2008

Speaker: Yochai Benkler (Harvard Law School); Cass Sunstein (Univ. of Chicago Law School); Moderator: Henry Jenkins (MIT)

Much discussion of our impending digital future is insular and without nuance. Skeptics talk mainly among themselves, while utopians and optimists also keep company mainly within their own tribal cultures. Today?s forum challenges this unhelpful division, staging a conversation between two of our country?s most thoughtful and influential writers on the promise and the perils of the Internet Age.
