ISOC-NY is proud to be a co-sponsor of a colloquium at NYU this coming Wednesday April 16 – Futures of the Internet.
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?
