Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 2: Great 2 meet u IRL :-) Twitter and digital identity
Is Twitter an ephemeral technology, consisting of mundane chat about people's personal lives? Or can a study of its use help us to understand how we express our identities on and offline? Can Twitter be used for professional or academic activity, and should we try to separate our public and private digital personae? This lecture will address such questions, with the aid of slides of 140 characters and live tweets from the audience at UCL and on the internet.

Power and Progress demonstrates that the path of technology was once – and can again be – brought under control. The tremendous computing advances of the last half century can become empowering and democratizing tools, but not if all major decisions remain in the hands of a few hubristic tech leaders striving to build a society that elevates their own power and prestige.
With their breakthrough economic theory and manifesto for a better society, Acemoglu and Johnson provide the understanding and the vision to reshape how we innovate and who really gains from technological advances so we can create real prosperity for all.
Speakers:
Simon Johnson, Ronald A. Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Julius Mugwagwa, Associate Professor in Innovation & Development, UCL Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP)
Cecilia Rikap, City University of London
Professor Rainer Kattel, Deputy Director UCL IIPP

The Age of the Cybercrime Unicorn with Mikko Hyppönen
UCL Computer Science presents: Peter Kirstein Lecture Series 2022
The Age of the Cybercrime Unicorn with Mikko Hyppönen
The lecture is named after our founding head and the father of the European Internet. While the topic changes each year, the common theme is that it should be accessible and thought provoking. This year’s guest speaker, security and privacy expert, Mikko Hyppönen, focusses on the way that organised cybercrime gangs generate considerable wealth.
Abstract:
We've lived our lives in the middle of a revolution: the internet revolution. Technology around us is changing faster than ever. We've already become dependent on our digital devices, and this is just the beginning. As connected devices open new opportunities for imagination, they also open new opportunities for online criminals. Organised cybercrime gangs are bigger than ever.

This week’s episode is all about Smart Cities – but what does that mean in reality? We are living and working in a city where technology is becoming increasingly embedded into the fabric of London. But is this technological freedom improving our lives or is consumer exploitation enslaving us? Should we be resisting or embracing urban technology?
Join the discussion with special guests Dr Sarah Wise and Prof Duncan Wilson from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at The Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment, and Kulveer Ranger, UCL alumnus and an expert in digital transformation, and Senior Vice President of Strategy Communications for Atos UK&I.
