Whose Information Is It Anyway: Privacy in the Digital Age

Every time we use a credit card, swipe a subway pass, or send an email we are sharing personal information about ourselves. Just how is the information used? Who sets the standards? And how do these policies affect our civil liberties?

New methods, including nanoscale technology, are revolutionizing the way we collect information. Join us for a discussion with Museum educator Alex Fiorentino and short play on some of the ethical issues we face in data storage and dissemination in the digital age.

This forum will be held at Spontaneous Celebrations in Jamaica Plain and will be presented in both English and Spanish. Light refreshments will be served from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Free, but space is limited; register online. For more information: 617-589-4250 or forumrsvp@mos.org.
