Focus
Focus, or Focus 580, was WILL Radio's flagship talk program from 1981 until 2014. David Inge was the host from 1981 until his retirement in 2012. Always engaging, the program acted as a resource for citizens to directly question politicians and candidates as well as keep up on the arts, science, health, and even the latest from well-known novelists.
The Focus archive below offers thousands of great interviews and serves as a time capsule and a great resource for researchers and those just curious about how influential people spoke of important topics as they were happening.
Information Technology and the Dream of Democratic Renewal
Langdon Winnen is one of the country’s leading thinkers on the social and political issues surrounding technological change. He says that since September 11th, Americans have become deeply aware that the modern technology we value so highly can turn against us. We have dealt with that fear, with an even greater reliance on technology. The result, he says, is an even higher level of mistrust.
Langdon Winner is professor of political science at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute in New York
