Matthew Landauer presents on the topic of how new technologies could shape future democracies. He discusses how past technologies over the last 250 years have changed how countries are run and the types of democracies that are possible. Landauer suggests citizens could have a greater role in government through opening up more government data and using new technologies. The presentation provides information on Landauer's OpenAustralia Foundation which aims to make government more transparent and citizen-focused.
