[Chapter-delegates] Futures of the Internet - April 16 - NYU

[WWWhatsup]

[I will videotape this event and make it available online
or by DVD afterwards - Joly]

ISOC-NY is proud to be a co-sponsor of a colloquium at
NYU this coming Wednesday April 16 - Futures of the
Internet.


What will come of the next decade on the Internet? We
often take for granted the state of the net today, but
there's no guarantee that it will remain this way.
Will the digital future be dystopian, or is there a
brighter outlook ahead than some may believe? Our
panelists -- thinkers and net visionaries -- will
provide their perspectives on the future of the net,
with backgrounds ranging from art, law, technology,
politics, media, culture, and entrepreneurship.  We
will tap in to each speaker's knowledge to provide a
unique vision of the digital future, and will engage
with members of the audience to further the
exploration of what lies ahead.
