Next Wednesday, November 11, at 20:30 hours, I will participate with Incho Cordero (Granada en datos and AKIBA) and Nuria Rico (Oficina Software libre UGR) in a film-forum about the documentary The story of Aaron Swartz: The Internet’s own boy. The event is part of the IV cycle of film forum “The other news” organized by Economists Without Borders.
In case someone can not attend or want to anticipate the viewing of the documentary here I leave the same along with information about its protagonist and the debate itself (extracted from the discussion sheet that will be distributed during the session).
At the height of his career and being the owner, among other applications, of the social network Reddit and creative director of Open Library, Aaron Swartz decided to leave aside the world of Sillicon Valley startups and focus his efforts on activism that defends free software and the free circulation of knowledge on the Internet. Some of his activities led him to be indicted on several federal charges. The process triggered a complex chain of events that radically changed Aaron’s life and triggered a relevant debate around the Internet.

Humanity is changing profoundly due to advances in global communication. Almost without realizing it, the Internet has radically transformed our way of life, and, as things stand now, without it we could not do our jobs, use our money, or communicate….
Technology has advanced faster than we have. New ways of trading, socializing, sharing information and making politics are emerging every day. Geographical, commercial, social and cultural boundaries are blurring and we could now develop new ways to promote equality, education, healthcare and free communication in the world. But there is a dark side to all this: for the Internet to be truly beneficial, it must ensure that everyone can publish, share and access information equally and freely. If culture, commerce and politics develop on the Internet, whoever can control the Internet will control everything.
The Internet’s Own Boy is the story of a brilliant young programmer, Aaron Swartz. He was the creator of Reddit, one of the driving forces behind Wikipedia and a well-known activist against Internet control laws.
