While some futurists find the promise of technology-driven utopias enticing, Evgeny Morozov, author of The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom, wonders if we might be entering into a bargain with “solutionism” that trades ease and efficiency for the “imperfections” of freedom and democracy.
Morozov is a contributing editor for The New Republic. He’s also written for the New York Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and the London Review of Books.

What is television these days? How are digital technologies changing television? How are the Internet and other new media changing the television industry’s model of production, distribution and consumption? What is the future of television?
Television content is now produced using a wide range of digital technologies, distributed via the Internet, mobile devices, and miscellaneous video formats, and viewed at the convenience of consumers. Change is everywhere. But even with these alterations, it can be argued that television remains as significant as ever.
The conference will feature a unique coalescing of video and television professionals, media scholars and students, government and community officials, as well as interested community groups and the public. The event will feature keynote speakers, roundtables, paper presentations, and screenings, in an attempt to answer questions about the changing nature of television.
