US Now - Information and Power

US Now - Information and Power
Duration: 60 minutes

A film project about the power of mass collaboration, government and the internet.

In a world in which information is like air, what happens to power?

New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organization. This project brings together leading practitioners and thinkers in this field and asks them to determine the opportunity for government.

"Lets face it, look at young people. Do young people read newspapers? Do they watch national broadcasters? No they don't, they get their information from lots of different sources. Now, there are problems associated with that, but generally speaking the democratization of how it is we get our information, I think, has to be a good thing." Matthew Taylor
