Ok, just one more, because I have been thinking about that question for at least the last ten years and really love the fact that it has now become such a hot topic:
The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University hosted a panel discussion on the Promise of Information- and Communication Technology on April 19th 2010 with four interesting participants:
Philip Taubman – Stanford University
Megan Smith – Google.org
Jared Cohen – US Department of State
Joshua Cohen – Stanford University
Although the event itself was invitation only and is long over we can get a glimpse of what the discussion entailed by watching the video (or audio) of the event. At least one promise of the technology fulfilled.
