  • Computers, Freedom, and Privacy - His Master's Voice
    March 1995
    His Master's Voice
    Early online activists have sought -- and achieved -- victories in
    getting political information, such as bills and reports, opened up
    for public access. But no good deed goes unpunished: the same media
    that expose government to the sunshine will be useful to disseminate
    political messages of all stripes. What is the future for "net
    propaganda" and who will pay so whose message will get to whom?

  • Computers, Freedom, and Privacy - The Case Against Computers
    March 1995
    The Case Against Computers
    A Systemic Critique
    Technological advances are sweeping through our culture like a
    virulent plague, changing and devastating peoples rights and
    privileges. Individual freedoms are slowly being eroded in favor of
    corporate and technology-driven interests. Similarly, privacy is
    increasingly seen as a threat to governments and other bureaucratic
    power bases. The future of our world's resources, human and material,
    is in jeopardy. Our panel will critique computers from these as well
    as other perspectives. (59:34) Chair - Jerry Mander, Author

    It's interesting to talk about new technologies bursting on the scene,

    on our lives? Can we learn about how technology affects us by looking
    at other societies? Dr. Moira Gunn interviews JERRY MANDER, a Senior
    Fellow at the nation's only not-for-profit advertising agency, the
