Digital United

Anyone who doubts that digital technologies are propelling dramatic changes in all aspects of our lives should watch this video:

Change is coming, and it is coming at a dizzying pace. We cannot even imagine how we’ll be living ten years from now. But one thing is certain: all culture will be digital, and bridging the “digital divide” will be crucial if we don’t want to see our societies erode into users and losers. Integrating those who are marginalized by the social web revolution will be a stress test for our civilization. Whether Twitter is good or bad for us is no longer the question. The question is: How are we going to use digital technologies (web and mobile) to generate empathy, foster social cohesion, and turn interaction into solidarity?
