Today, the swift evolution of technological advances makes it possible to record and disseminate information about history-in-the-making events within a matter of minutes. Join Dr. Betty Sue Flowers, director of the National Archives' Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum, as she leads a discussion on how devices such as cell phones, digital video, and the World Wide Web are changing the speed, accuracy, and impact of current events. The panel, including Neal Spelce, award-winning Austin broadcast journalist and entrepreneur, and Tracy Dahlby – an award-winning print journalist and producer of historical documentaries for television – who holds the Frank A. Bennack Chair in Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin, will address concerns regarding the public's ability to absorb, evaluate, and react critically to historic events related in an ever-increasingly fast-paced world.
