In 2004 Facebook was created. Two years later in 2006 Twitter was founded AND the very first episode of the Agenda aired here on TVO.

Fast forward to 2011 and social media was seen as helping sow the seeds of democracy in the Middle East during the Arab Spring. And many were optimistic that these growing connections would help harness the wisdom of the crowd. It would be like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" when you asked the audience. And the audience was almost always right.

So … what happened? How has social media evolved? How has social media changed us? And has it been a net negative or net positive?

Cory Doctorow, Vass Bednar, Jeff Jarvis, and Douglas Rushkoff join to discuss.
