TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13
Best-selling Author to Discuss New Book
Professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, director of the Information and Innovation Policy Research Centre at the National University of Singapore, will speak at noon in the Moot Court Room on his new book, Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age. Best-selling author Mayer-Schönberger taught at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University before leaving to found the Information and Innovation Policy Research Centre. In Delete, he traces the important role that forgetting has played throughout human history. The written word made it possible for humans to remember across generations and time, and today digital technology and global networks are overriding our natural ability to forget; the past is ever-present, ready to be called up at the click of a mouse. Everlasting digital memory presents an array of dangers — from outdated information being taken out of context to compromising photos the Web won't let us forget — that current information privacy rights and other fixes don't solve. Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the world's leading scholars on Internet and high-technology policy. Lunch will be served.

Deans, faculty, and staff will join the party. Heavy hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine will be provided compliments of the Stewarts, who think it is important to explore the campus, especially the Art Museum.
Since its establishment in 1941, the IU Art Museum has grown from a small university teaching collection into one of the foremost university art museums in the country.
