Edward Snowden Assesses Technology's Role In Our Lives: 'It's Only Getting Better'

Does technology help or hurt democracy? We’ve been unpacking that question all week, thanks to a five-part documentary series that Joseph Gordon-Levitt made with the ACLU in support of the new movie “Snowden.” Today’s final chapter, called “It’s Only Getting Better,” features Edward Snowden himself weighing in and offering predictions for the future.

Watch the short film above, and revisit the other four installments, all of which have premiered exclusively on The Huffington Post.

Part 1. Joseph Gordon-Levitt Has A Question For You

Part 2. How A Pakistani Woman Used Social Media To Abolish Election Rigging

Part 3. Does Mass Surveillance Really Prevent Terrorism?

Part 4. Edward Snowden’s Lawyer Wonders Whether Mass Surveillance Could Harm Democracy

And speaking of interactive technology, check out our Facebook Live interview with Gordon-Levitt from earlier this week.

”Snowden” opens in theaters on Sept. 16.
