Power, how it is changing
Power was always only for the big companies, institutions and so for a small group of people. New technologies change our perception of power and we see a shift towards power to the people.
Power is ours to give away to institutions, not the other way round. But what does power look like now, and who holds it? Has the internet drained power from traditional institutions? What affects how young people develop into powerful citizens? To make sure people have power to shape their own lives, we need to understand how power works. The video embedded in the article shows us the insights of how power works. We see a shift in power because of the web. We come from a world where you could gain power because of limited access to knowledge and media. This world is totally gone. Everyone has access to knowledge and can share a message with everyone via the web. One online post can have more impact than a million dollars costing marketing campaign. We ever trust our peers above any authority. So power is shifting. Shifting from people serving structures towards networks serving people.
