Civil Discourse Wall, University of Florida

The Civil Debate Wall is a panel of interconnected touch-screens. The audience, or anyone passing by for that matter, can engage in community discourse on the hot topics of the day. And the topic on January 20 was "Do you think that Occupy is the Civil Rights Movement of our time?" The screens were jammed with folks who wanted to debate this question. Large photos of those participating displayed next to those responding. And you could take the debate home with you via cell phone, the website, and Facebook. This installation of the University of Florida is the first of its kind. Part of Occupy My Soapbox blog, http://www.occupymysoapbox.com/
