This lecture amplifies the thesis in the speaker’s book, The Unhackable Internet, that the Internet was never built to store the data and value that it is being used for today. The increasing surveillance capabilities it provides authoritarian governments is sentencing vast numbers of people around the world to a life of servitude to governments that care little about their welfare. The question becomes what democratic nations do, and whether they slowly surrender to the increasing temptations to use technology to control rather than better people’s lives. How can and will technologies be used to collapse critical infrastructures, fight wars, and change democracies? And who is considering these life altering issues as was debated when the atom bomb was developed?
