Tuesday, April 24, 2001 International Marconi Day 4-6 p.m. Reception to follow Davis Auditorium of the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physcical Science Research Columbia University New York, N.Y. Web users want assurances that their communications or e-commerce will remain private without having to worry that their ideas, or even their identities, are stolen and every detail of their lives will be laid bare while others profit from personal data collection. Digital threats arise from all quarters, including corporations and marketing firms, potential employers and credit agencies, health and government establishments, as well as outright snoopers and opportunists. Can improved technologies protect privacy on the Internet or is privacy a casualty of the digital age? The Marconi Forum brings together leading figures from technology, government, journalism, business and law to examine how-- or whether-- our right to privacy can be secured from digital incursions. |
