How has the Web impacted the recent wave of revolutions sweeping the Middle East?  What role will it play in the future of international development?   Should Internet accessibility be considered a fundamental human right?

These are the kinds of questions Sir Tim Berners-Lee and former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be discussing with Knight Foundation President and CEO, Alberto Ibargüen, during a livestreamed panel about the ability of the Web to facilitate social and economic change in disadvantaged populations.

The talk will build on Berners-Lee’s creation of the World Wide Web Foundation, which received Knight support for its goal to maximize the potential of the Web as a resource for good, and will take place at the University of Geneva at 12:00pm EDT.
