Additional information
Two-thirds of the world's internet traffic is video. Americans get their news and information more often from screens and speakers than through any other means.
MIT Open Learning's Peter B. Kaufman and GBH Archives Director Karen Cariani will explore the reach and power of the moving image – and survey how much of that power is really under our control. Kaufman's 2025 book The Moving Image: A User's Manual (MIT Press) will be the starting point for a lively discussion of the medium's ascendance in education, politics, and knowledge dissemination over the decades to come.
