Technology: Fear it / Fix it?
Conferentie over de invloed van technologie op de maatschappij
27 en 28 november 2008, Westergasfabriek Amsterdam

Vijftien jaar geleden werd de eerste Nederlandse internetprovider voor particulieren opgericht: XS4ALL. Sindsdien is er veel veranderd in de maatschappij: technologie is een steeds prominenter rol gaan spelen en internet is voor velen in korte tijd volledig onmisbaar geworden.

Die ontwikkeling heeft in veel kleine stappen, soms vrijwel ongemerkt plaatsgevonden, terwijl ons leven er fundamenteel door veranderd is. Tijd voor een inventarisatie: een blik op de afgelopen 15 jaar en een blik in de toekomst.

XS4ALL organiseert FIFI 2008: een tweedaagse conferentie in Amsterdam over de invloed van technologie op de maatschappij, uiteraard met bijzondere aandacht voor internet. Het programma wordt door een grote groep vrijwilligers samengesteld in een wiki op www.fifi2008.nl

De conferentie zal bestaan uit verschillende tracks en richt zich op een breed publiek. De volgende thema's kunnen aan de orde komen:
- Ontwikkelingen in vogelvlucht
- Robotica
- De kloof tussen technici en beleidsmakers
- Augmented reality
- Internet en kwaliteit van leven
- Onderwijs
- Connected art
- We can fix it
- Sociale gevolgen van open source
- Power to the nerd

Deze thema's worden toegelicht op wiki.fifi2008.nl/index.php/Onderwerpen

If that happens, we’ll all be able watch on maps and graphs how the election is going across the country.

"This election is not about major policies. It's about hope. Let me make it clear: I'm pretty conservative. I grew up in the suburbs. I voted for George H.W. Bush twice, and his son once. I was disappointed when Bill Clinton won, and disappointed he couldn't run again. "
