Abstacted from a speech by Van Jones on November 5, 2004.
Communications
technology has become reliable, ubiquitous and cheap. We can network
tens of thousands of people; record and share high-quality independent
music; and create professional quality DVD's - all on a few desktop
computers. Moveon.org, Howard Dean and Indyvoter.org are just the tip
of the iceberg. Film-maker Robert Greenwald combined new technologies
by partnering with Moveon.org to promote his Bush-slamming, documentary
DVD's online. We are really just starting to leverage online
communities and digital technologies. (Luckily, the Right is too
top-down to use these liberating tools appropriately. So we have an
advantage in this domain, for now.)
