Aaron H. Swartz (November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013) was an American computer programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist against privatization of knowledge. Two colleagues and friends of Aaron Swartz talk about his activism and vision of technology in the service of a more democratic and just society.
“When internet activists are getting longer prison sentences than rapists,
you have to wonder what kind of world we’re leaving for our kids.”
-Anonymous“With enough of us, around the world, we’ll not just send a
strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we’ll make it a thing
of the past.” -Aaron Swartz“This is your life, this is your country — and if you want to keep it safe,
you need to get involved.” -Aaron Swartz“Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. I think a lot of what people call
intelligence just boils down to curiosity.” -Aaron Swartz
