TCMA Brown Bag Lunch Series
Join Twin Cities Media Alliance Executive Director Jeremy Iggers at noon on Wednesday, February 24 for a Brown Bag Lunch at the East Lake Public Library, 2727 E. Lake St., Minneapolis, with featured guest security expert Bruce Schneier, speaking on a topic ripped from today’s headlines:
Security, Privacy, and the Generation Gap
“The Internet is the greatest generation gap since rock and roll,” says Schneier. “The older of us need to be prepared for a younger generation that lives life on the Internet, doesn’t understand where their computer or smart phone ends and the Internet begins, shares passwords with their friends as a sign of trust, and deliberately lies when registering for services. At the same time, both technological and business trends point to less user control (both security and privacy), and laws are leaving these trends alone. What will security and privacy look like in this new world? Someone needs to figure it out.”
Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist and author. Described by The Economist as a “security guru,” he is best known as a refreshingly candid and lucid security critic and commentator. When people want to know how security really works, they turn to Schneier.
The Twin Cities Media Alliance’s monthly Brown Bag Lunches are your chance for casual conversation with some of the Twin Cities’ most insightful journalists (and journalists from around the world) — about journalism, politics, or whatever is on your mind.
