> Speaker: Dan Klein
> Topic: Perfect Data in an Imperfect World
> Abstract:
> It is no secret that we are at the dawn of the digital age - our parents 
> (and
> for some of us, even our grandparents) have computers, digital cameras, 
> MP3
> players, etc. We each have more computing power in our cell phones than 
> the
> mainframes of 35 years ago, and everywhere we find data acquisition and
> tracking systems.
> Privacy has never before been more zealously guarded nor more freely 
> abandoned,
> and with the proliferation of digital data collection and dissemination 
> have
> come new worries.
> What is being recorded, why, and by whom?
> With literally billions of computers around us, how can we keep our data 
> (and
> ourselves) safe? How can we prevent misappropriation or misuse of 
> information
> about ourselves? How can we ever expunge flawed records, urban legends, or
> embarrassing facts? We have become the elephant who never forgets, but 
> what are
> we remembering?
> This talk will take a look at what our world is becoming, and perhaps 
> suggest
> what we can do to make it a little less imperfect.
>
> Directions:
> Wean Hall is part of Carnegie Mellon University on the West side of 
> campus.
> Directly to the North are Newell Simon and Hamburg Hall. Directly to the 
> South
> is Porter Hall. If you have not been to Carnegie Mellon Campus recently, 
> you
> may want to look at this map as it indicates the construction zones.
