“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”- Thomas Watson, IBM Chairman, 1943
“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”- Ken Olson, President,
Digital Equipment Corp, 1977
Technology has already changed how we . . .
• Work (telecommuting, information economy . . .)• Learn (Google, distance learning, digital libraries . . .)• Play (booking travel, online auctions . . .)• Do business (E-commerce, marketing, banking . . . )• Communicate (Webinars, texting, tweets . . . )• (And a lot of other things)
It’s also changing civic engagement.

"Millennials who use social networking sites for civic causes are also more civically engaged in their communities. Although we cannot conclude that belonging to social networking sites alone causes an increase in civic engagement, those who engage online come from diverse economic and educational backgrounds, illustrating the potential of technology in bridging traditional civic gaps. Online platforms provide engagement opportunities for many Americans who may not belong to a formal volunteering organization."
"Strangely enough, digital technologies are forcing us to recognize the power of the collective and social."
David Bollier, “The Commons as a New Sector of Value-Creation”http://www.onthecommons.org/content.php?id=1813
