Technology and the Future of Civic Engagement
Los Angeles, CA

From touch-screen voting to online campaigning, technology is shaping the future of civic engagement. But what does this mean for e-democracy—especially for those individuals and communities without access to the latest technology? The panel will consider the promise of technology and how it may enable people to acquire and disseminate information. In debating various notions of e-democracy, the panel will look at the degree to which the digital divide may hinder any aspect of these expectations. Experts will also address what local, state, and national policy initiatives are designed to address the anticipated problems.
