The computer and its ability to create online networks has profoundly transformed science, industry, business, and society itself. Mobile devices that are always connected, engrossing social networks and games, smart cars and homes--we are immersed in a digital world that is empowering and sometimes threatening. Our rapidly changing technological landscape raises issues of access, privacy, and security--while challenging our understanding of what it means to be human.
