Technology, Society & Public Policy Lecture SeriesRice University's "Technology, Society and Public Policy" Lecture Series focuses on social, political, and legal issues that have emerged from the information revolution. Information technology already touches most aspects of our daily lives; it has transformed workplaces, classrooms, and homes, and changed the way we learn, communicate, entertain, and govern. Increasingly, however, the transforming power of ubiquitous computing, networking, and data is impacting our notion of individual rights, civil liberties, social problems, national security, and social responsibility. This lecture series aims to highlight the challenges we face as our cyber-society matures, with an eye toward issues related to impact, ownership, use, control, and management of information and information technology in society. The series is sponsored by the Computer and Information Technology Institute (CITI), the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy and the Office of the Chief Information Officer.
