Moderated by:  Michael J. Musucci

Thursday, 17 October 2024
Description

Panelists will discuss:  How the metawarrior will mess with human addiction to alternate realities.   How do we defend ourselves, our sense of self and reality, and the truth from disinformation from immersive experience? 

Author, lecturer and Information Security Expert Winn Schwartau will take us through a journey through the good and bad aspects of the world we now take for granted.

Winn has lived Cybersecurity since 1983, and now says, "I think, maybe, I'm just starting to understand it." His predictions about the internet & security have been scarily spot on. He coined the term "Electronic Pearl Harbor" while testifying before Congress in 1991.
