Clay Shirky hat bei einer TED-Konferenz über „How the Internet will (one day) transform government“ gesprochen, u.a. geht es darum, was die Politik vom Programmieren lernen kann.
The open-source world has learned to deal with a flood of new, oftentimes divergent, ideas using hosting services like GitHub – so why can’t governments? In this rousing talk Clay Shirky shows how democracies can take a lesson from the Internet, to be not just transparent but also to draw on the knowledge of all their citizens.
