DESCRIPTION:The use of technology in politics - from social media to smart 
 phones to targeted internet advertising - has become more sophisticated an
 d widespread. As its prevalence expands\, so does the number of questions 
 about its use and value\, and its impacts on politics and civil society.\n
 \nCLICK HERE to watch the video for "Technology in Politics: What We Don't
  Know and Should."  \n\nHow are current technologies being used in politic
 s? What are the benefits of those technologies? What are the pitfalls? How
  can users know if these technologies adequately protect our privacy and s
 ecurity? In turn\, how do privacy laws affect these technologies?\n\nWhat 
 about people who use far less technology because of their age or lack of r
 esources? Are they being fairly and accurately represented in politics as 
 the use of technology increases?\n\nIs the net effect of these technologie
 s improving U.S. politics or being used to drive Americans further apart? 
 How much are social media platforms radicalizing people? How do these tech
 nologies affect voter suppression? \n\nGet answers to these and related qu
 estions during this energized discussion among a host of noted experts.\n\

 our Bully Pulpit podcast series. When President Theodore Roosevelt coined 
 the phrase bully pulpit\, bully meant "wonderful\;" and Roosevelt\, accord
 ing to the Oxford Dictionary\, was envisioning "an outstanding opportunity
  to speak out on any issue." Every exchange is guided by standards central
  to the Center's mission: Respect each other and respect the truth. Oppone
 nts are adversaries\, not enemies. And if you lose\, don't burn down the s
 tadium. \n\nThis event is in partnership with the USC Center for Communica
 tion Leadership and Policy. \n\nCLICK HERE to watch the video for "Technol
