In this new RSAnimate adapted from a talk at the RSA, author and journalist Evgeny Morozov presents an alternative take on 'cyber-utopianism' - the seductive idea that the internet plays a largely empancipatory role in global politics.

  • Fascinating video

  • wow, really when art and technology come together produce a beautiful work. 

  • I wanna tell about just one thing to Morozov, and everyone. In South Korea also get a terrible problem.(Yeah.. I`m Korean) 
    Korean news is like FOX, it's like horrible, so some of Korean guys made a program in podcast. this is as suppose like Daily show. But like for real news and it is gotten so big.(I quote from somewhere,,). You can check one of the No.1 Podcast on Itunes, is Korean Podcast. the name is "DDANZIS"
    For this reason South Korea goverment try to make a law about smartphone. If this policy legilate, South Korean can not access in twitter, facebook and the other "SNS programs", when we use I Phone or other smartphone. I think South Korean authoritarian leaders have a fear of Internet(represent, "SNS").

    The author mentioned about North Korea and Burma, but it occured not only "isolated country" also "democratic state"(as you know) in 2011. 

  • People who are self actualized usually are concern for other people's plight. If they're not then they are not yet self actualized.
