Prof. Jonathan Zittrain

The Future of the Internet – And How to Stop It

6:30-8pm, November 1, 2007
De Saisset Museum, Santa Clara University

Co-sponsored by Santa Clara’s
High Tech Law Institute
Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and
Center for Science, Technology and Society

About the Talk: The Internet we know and love is at risk even as its freedoms are at a high water mark and rising. It's the changing slope of the curve that counts, and the most important factor is the uncontrolled environment represented by Net and PC: too much spyware, too many viruses, too little reliability for the applications people want and need.

Waiting in the wings is a new generation of "information appliances" that in the past have been laughable (think WebTV) but now are killer: iPod, XBox, TiVo, most mobile phones, Zune, PSP. These appliances, and a general appliancization of the PC itself, represent a very different environment: the immutability of an appliance to the consumer and third parties (think television set), coupled with use of the latest Net innovations to make the thing eminently alterable by (and only by) its maker and licensees. This talk maps out the bad implications of an appliancized -- and Web 2.0 -- world, and offers suggestions to temper it.

About the Speaker: Jonathan Zittrain holds the Chair in Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University and is a principal of the Oxford Internet Institute.  He is also visiting professor of law at Harvard Law School, where he co-founded its Berkman Center for Internet & Society. For more information, see http://www.jz.org.
