WEBCAST: “What is your car saying to your shoes? Assessing the Internet of Things” #IoT @FordhamCLIP @PrincetonCITP

Fordham Symposium on the Internet of Things

Fordham Symposium on the Internet of ThingsOn Friday March 14 2014 ISOC-NY is happy to webcast the Eighth Law and Information Society Symposium live from Fordham School of Law. This year’s event has the theme “What is your car saying to your shoes? Assessing the Internet of Things.” It is presented by the  Fordham Center on Law and Information Policy (CLIP) and co-sponsored by the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP).

The “Internet of Things” is the term used to describe the networking of devices that have not traditionally been used to collect or process data. Internet connectivity and data collection mechanisms are being added to devices as diverse as pacemakers, athletic equipment, light bulbs, and coffee makers. As the networking of these devices becomes more prevalent in everyday life, legal and policy issues are now at the forefront of business and regulators’ agendas. For example, the FTC and other government organizations have expressed concern over privacy, security, and even technological and financing considerations. This conference seeks to address these wide-ranging issues and explore the legal framework that can support innovation along with the protection of society.

What: What is your car saying to your shoes? Assessing the Internet of Things.

Saturday March 8 is International #womensday – @InternetSociety is celebrating Women in Tech

International Women's Day

International Women's DayThis Saturday, March 8 2014, is International Women’s Day and this year’s theme is “Equality for women is progress for all”. To mark the occasion Internet Society President & CEO Kathy Brown, and Trustees Desiree Miloshevic, Theresa Swinehart and Narelle Clark, have posted Weaving Women of the World into the Global Tapestry of Modern Digital Life an article around the importance of women in ICT. The article highlights several initiatives across the ISOC community that support women interested in technology careers and bring Internet access and training to women around the world.

Here at ISOC-NY we actively support local organizations who actively recruit girls into computer science, such as the New York City Foundation for Computer Science Education (CSNYC) and Girls Who Code. We have also lent international assistance to the ITU’s Tech Needs Girls campaign.

If you have a story about, or would like to pay tribute to, women in tech – the Internet Society has an open call for related anecdotes, links, media etc at Inspiring Change: Celebrating Achievements of Women in Tech
