TECHNOLOGY: THE PROBLEM OR SOLUTION?
Technology has completely changed the game when it comes
to the collection and use of personal data.  While privacy abuse abounds,
can the same technology be built to protect us?

12:00 - 1:30 pm  Lunch 

1:30 - 3:00 pm

CONSTRUCTING PRIVACY FROM PROTOCOLS TO INTERFACE
The foundations for privacy need to be built into technology
at the outset -  from the most basic of protocols to the interface. 
How can we put privacy first as a top priority element in computer design?

3:00 - 3:15 pm Break
3:15 - 4:45 pm

IS 1984 HISTORY?
Public awareness of privacy dangers has moved beyond the "I-have-
nothing-to-hide" stage to real concern.  Is this concern strong enough
to counter the data-gathering momentum or have we already reached a point
of no return?
