Rupert Goodwins
from Four Thought Hosted by BBC Radio 4
Technology writer Rupert Goodwins was an early user of internet message boards which he idealistically thought would bring the world closer together. The truth hit him when he waded into a forum debating creationism and ended up being attacked by both sides. He argues that the fundamental problem of incivility on the internet has never gone away - in fact it has got much, much worse. Four Thought is a series of thought-provoking talks in which speakers air their thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect culture and society in front of a live audience. Presenter: Ben Hammersley Producers: Mike Wendling and Smita Patel.
