Be part of a BBC World Service Programme with MIT's Joi Ito

Joi Ito is one of the great pioneers of openness on the internet. He claims it will be "the pillar of democracy for the 21st Century". But with Egypt's so-called Facebook revolution in jeopardy and world-wide anxieties that the web is being used by governments to spy on their citizens, is this optimism misplaced? In a special live BBC World Service programme from Boston, Razia Iqbal introduces Joi Ito to listeners world-wide and an audience at MIT's Media Lab in Boston, USA.

Join them at MIT Media Lab 12:40pm on Thursday March 14th for What If...We Could All Talk to Joi Ito? All tickets are FREE, there is a maximum of four per person, and tickets are released on a first-come first-served basis.
The event finishes at 2pm.
