Panel 2

The second panel of the day is focusing its discussion around the matter of engagement. These panelists have emphasized how Internet can be a tool for cross cultural exchange and how the internet can be used to fight the oppressive tactics of the Iranian regime. While the internet is a great tool for helping generate dialogue "it does not replace face to face contact," says panelist Sonya Reines.
