The Internet Is Changing Everything
I give a lot of talks about the intersection of politics and the web and it always starts out the same way. “The Internet is changing everything. It’s changing the way we get our news. It’s changing the way we shop. It’s changing the way we interact. It’s only natural that it also changes the way we elect our leaders and run our country.”
In fact, that picture right there is a screen shot from the second slide of my PowerPoint.
I start there because it’s the foundation of everything. Until you realize that the Internet isn’t just a communications tool, but instead, the primary mechanism through which we connect, you will never be able to get it.
I ran into this video over on the Bivings site and thought it pretty much sums up what I’m trying to say.
