TED speaker looks at the Internet and reimagines government

This is a great video on how the Internet can be used to reimagine the role and process of government so that it's more open, transparent, engaging and responsive to our needs, rather than the demands of industry lobbyists. Thank you to Andrew William Sampson for posting this on our Facebook wall.

We like to think the pro-Internet movement is part of this evolution. We see it when when we're able to do things like crowdsource our meetings with government or open closed-door meetings, and we're incredibly excited.

As Big Telecom continues to consolidate our media system, it's more important than ever to make sure that independent or alternative media and the CBC (see Reimagine CBC) are more innovative, more accountable, and more participatory, and that we continue to use the Internet to reimagine government institutions.
