DOES TECHNOLOGY ENHANCE OR IMPERIL FREEDOM AND SECURITY ?
from AMERICA UNBOUND? Hosted by Dr. Narain Batra
The term cyberspace was coined by William Gibson in his 1984 science fiction Neuromancer—a dark social universe. But America created cyberspace, the Internet, based on its democratic value system—free, open, decentralized, distributed, and self-governing. What if the Internet had been created in China or Russia? Its architecture and algorithms would have been very different, geared more toward creating a surveillance society than enhancing democratic values.
