Interesting TED talk about the limits of an open web due to filtering tools.

"With web 2.0, we've embarced the idea that people are going to share pictures of their cats, and now we build sophisticated tools to make that easier to do. as a result, we're creating a wealth of tech that's extremely helpful for activists. There are twin revolutions going on - the ease of creating content and the ease of sharing it with local and global audiences."

From the article: "Dozens of scholarly studies have popped up in recent years with evidence of how video games can strengthen social bonds online and off - or fulfill the same societal roles as religion, meditation and psychotherapy."
