Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen: "The Dark Side of the Digital Revolution"
http://j.mp/11vRs1B (WSJ)
"What does this mean for governments and would-be revolutionaries?
While technology has great potential to bring about change, there
is a dark side to the digital revolution that is too often
ignored. There is a turbulent transition ahead for autocratic
regimes as more of their citizens come online, but technology
doesn't just help the good guys pushing for democratic reform-it
can also provide powerful new tools for dictators to suppress
dissent." (Mr. Schmidt is Google's executive chairman and former
CEO. Mr. Cohen is the director of Google Ideas. They are the
authors of "The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People,
Nations and Business," from which this essay is adapted, to be
published on April 23 by Alfred A. Knopf.)
