Taran and Ed, My issue is not that the video is commerical or fanciful. Rather, in the context of the 'digital divide', my point is that videos like this represent an unrealistic vision of the value of ICT for social change. Visions are essential to the future and there is nothing inherently

John has hit the nail on the head. First, for a "global flow" conference its decidedly being seen through US eyes. Secondly, the home base for the conference organizers is the Yale Law School which further narrows the scope of the conference and finally, as John has so perceptively picked up o

Gentlemen, This topic to me sounds a bit broad and general. What exactly do you all mean by when you say the flow of information throughout the world. Dose it refer to the media or something else? In many aspects of the world that we live in, the flow of information relating to the media is h
