Brian Peters on 05 Jun 12I really like her talk on the culture of fear, and how it relates to the rapidly expanding array of mediums in which to spread this culture. This is a nice counterpoint to Howard Rheingold's view of some of the positive uses of social media to promote engagement and change rather than this focus on isolation and fear.
