Against technology. That was actually we had this conversation a little bit about some of the limits of kind of online activism or some people say hash tag activism. This ability of just masses of people to bring attention to these issues, right, and we talked about how that kind of bubbled up during the whole Malaysian Airlines hysteria where, you know, we all of a sudden started paying attention to these 200 kidnapped girls. The other analog is joseph coney, coney 2012. One of the most Massive Campaign we have seen in terms of online activism and it was all these eyes now focused on the whole premise was lets make coney famous and that will lead to some sort of capture, but still, as you say, coney is still out there, we havent found most of these girls.

This event was posted by the new america foundation, its an hour and ten minutes. Thank you very much. Well, welcome, everybody, thanks for coming out. Were here to talk about technology and so many so much of the time we tend to turn to technology to solve our problems. And we have gotten so good at it that a lot of Times Technology solves those problems before we really had a chance to think about whether the problems are really entirely problems or maybe theres something that were losing in the process as well. Maybe that thing that we solved also was beneficial to us in some ways.
