EFF invites you to hear luminary researcher Jonathan Zittrain, principal of the Oxford Internet Institute, deliver a presentation on the topic of his next book: "The Future of the Internet ­- And How to Stop It." Zittrain will cover what he sees looking forward, as the Internet ecosystem becomes blotted by restrictive tools and rash approaches to security challenges. The event is hosted by News.com at CNET Networks.

WHEN:
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.

WHAT:
Jonathan Zittrain speaks on "The Future of the Internet -- And How to Stop It. The Internet is primed for a meltdown - and the most obvious cures are just as bad."

Jonathan Zittrain is one of the world's foremost scholars of technology law and technology policy. He holds the Chair in Internet Governance and Regulation at Oxford University and is a principal of the Oxford Internet Institute. His research interests include battles for control of digital property and content, cryptography, electronic privacy, the roles of intermediaries within Internet architecture, and the useful and unobtrusive deployment of technology in education.
