What will come of the next decade on the Internet? We often take for granted
the state of the net today, but there's no guarantee that it will remain
this way. Will the digital future be dystopian, or is there a brighter
outlook ahead than some may believe? Our panelists -- thinkers and net
visionaries -- will provide their perspectives on the future of the net,
with backgrounds ranging from art, law, technology, politics, media,
culture, and entrepreneurship. We will tap in to each speaker's knowledge
to provide a unique vision of the digital future, and will engage with
members of the audience to further the exploration of what lies ahead.
