FRONTLINE: The Crowd

HOUSTON, April 2, 2010 -This month, we'll be discussing "the crowd" - particularly the way group activity, creativity, and awareness are both enhanced and exacerbated by our digital networks. We do not need to reach conclusions or even consensus about the impact of technology on our collective fate (or the fate of collectives). We are less concerned with finding definitive answers than asking the right kinds of questions, reframing our interrogations in new and informative ways, learning from one another's perspectives, and seeing how the public participants respond to and inform our conversation.

We'll be approaching one aspect of the crowd over each of the four weeks of the Roundtable - and then, if it can be arranged, some portion of our group may be meeting for a live, concluding discussion at the end of month.
