My Westercon Schedule
2011-06-28 11:44 pmSo here's my schedule for Westercon, coming up this weekend at the San Jose Fairmont:
o Sunday, Jul 03 1:00 PM to Sunday, Jul 03 2:30 PM in room: Club Regent
The Internet Goes Interplanetary
The "internet protocol" has been extended to support connectivity and
communications off-planet. You may not be able to Instant Message but
you will be able to send email. How will this affect long-duration space
exploration?
o Sunday, Jul 03 3:15 PM to Sunday, Jul 03 4:00 PM in room: California
Concert: Steve Savitzky
Join Steve in songs about computers, space, fantasy, friendship, and love.
o Monday, Jul 04 10:00 AM to Monday, Jul 04 11:30 AM in room: Regency Ballroom 2
The Future of Privacy
Technology has made it easier for people to find and share
information. At the same time it's become much more difficult to
preserve personal privacy. How will the challenge to privacy affect us
over the next 50 years? Is this a right to be protected, or is the
concept of privacy an illusion -- for example, how much privacy did
people have living in small towns before mass communications?
See you there, perhaps!
