Crawford: Life Is Short, Think Big
Internet visionary and law professor Susan Crawford had a simple message for attendees of an annual assembly of grassroots Internet enthusiasts on Monday: "Life is short. We might as well tackle some big questions while we're here." She told the Freedom to Connect summit in Silver Spring, Md. that "ideals have to be joined to will" because "an ideal by itself doesn't change the world."
That belief is evidenced by Crawford's creation of One Web Day, an Earth Day-inspired occasion observed yearly on Sept. 22 since 2006 with the purpose of globalizing "a constituency who cares about the future of the Internet," she said. During her speech, Crawford called for Web users to become "a countervailing force" that can change the Internet for the better.
