Ethan Zuckerman (MIT) | TNW Conference | What if the entire world goes on social media

Europe's refugee crisis reminds us that we're citizens not just of our countries, but of an interconnected and interdependent world. But while revolutions in communications technologies make it possible for us to know what's going on across the world, we're seeing a rise in nationalism and isolationism. Ethan Zuckerman looks at the idea of digital cosmopolitans to explain why communications across borders through the web and social media may actually be isolating us rather than connecting us, and looks for solutions so we can live in a wide and wired world.
