===Reinventing Democracy===
He believes that the issue of reinventing democracy in the digital era is of a critical importance. The issues around democracy are issues about participation and engagement in civic life and fundamental issues of how we create meaning together. How we use technology to connect us to life is for him a critical question for participatory and civic engagement.
As he suggests, there are four levels to this challenge, which can lead us through technologies to ways that can connect us in a true participatory reinvention of democracy. <br>
1. How we use technology to bring meaning into our own personal life in the context of our interactions in community (Intra-personal level of democratic life of participation in a civic society) <br>
2. Engaging with others and making decisions together (Inter-personal level of democratic life of participation in a civic society) <br>
3. How do we connect and make decisions in ways that are inculusive of other forms of life. Trees, plans, animals, they are active members with us in the co-creation of meaning. (Trans-species level of democratic life of participation in a civic society) <br>
4. How do we engage in dialogue with our ancestors and future generations – how do we engage them in the narrative in a participatory way that prepares and anticipates questions and opportunities for future generations and carries forward the narratives and ideas of participation from previous generations. <br>
