Greensboro Is Talking

“From The Future of Civic Engagement in a Broadband-Enabled World, a symposium hosted by the MIT Center for Future Civic Media in cooperation with the Federal Communications Commission’s Broadband Initiative (broadband.gov).

From the Mayor of Newark’s tweets to the President’s online town halls, technology has already changed how the public engages with their government. In a world of ubiquitous broadband, this interaction can radically change how government operates and develops policy. This panel will explore how broadband can transform government/citizen engagement.”

* Christopher Csikszentmihalyi, MIT Center for Future Civic Media
