Digital Democracy | Carl Miller | TEDxAthens

The rise of the Internet means that for the first time in centuries, Parliaments are not the only way of putting the people in charge. Political disaffection is growing and new and exciting alternatives are possible. It’s time for digital democracy. 

Carl Miller co-founded, and is the Research Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos, the first UK think tank institute dedicated to studying the digital world. He is the author of over a dozen major reports on the effect of the digital world on society and politics, and how it can be studied. This includes the influence of the Internet on radicalisation, policing and counter-terrorism, hate crime and social media, digital situational awareness, digital democracy, and changing identities and beliefs in the digital world.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
