Minds for Sale: Ubiquitous Human Computing and the Future of the Internet, 7-8pm Oct 19

Monday, Sep. 21, 2009

Speaker: Professor Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard Law School; Co-Founder, Berkman Center for Internet and Society; and Chair in Internet Governance and Regulation, Oxford University

Cloud computing is not just for computing anymore: you can now find as much mindshare as you can afford out in the cloud too -- a new range of projects is making the application of human brainpower as purchasable and fungible as additional server rackspace. What are some of the issues arising as armies of thinkers are recruited by the thousands and millions?  A fascinating (and non-scare-mongering) view is offered of a future in which nearly any mental act can be bought and sold.

Jonathan Zittrain's research interests include digital property, privacy, and speech, and the role played by private "middlepeople" in Internet architecture. He has a strong interest in creative, useful, and unobtrusive ways to deploy technology in the classroom.

This event is co-sponsored by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, The Center for Science, Technology, and Society, and the High-Tech Law Institute
