JOIN US AT CFP'95. We have reached the crossroads of the Information Age. No longer is the electronic frontier inhabited solely by a small band of technical pioneers sharing a common code of conduct. Computer and telecommunications technologies have become part of mainstream living, conversation, and politics. These changes compel us to reexamine the definition of our rights and the processes by which those rights are being defined. The Fifth Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy will assemble experts, advocates and interested people from a broad spectrum of disciplines and backgrounds in a balanced public forum to explore and better understand the definition of our rights at this crossroads. Participants will include people from the fields of computer science, law, business, research, information, library science, health, public policy, government, law enforcement, public advocacy, and many others. Featured speakers include: John P. Morgridge, Chairman, Cisco Systems Esther Dyson, Release 1.0/EDVenture Holdings, Inc. Roger W. Wilkins, Professor of History and American Culture at George Mason University and commentator, National Public Radio Margaret Jane Radin, Professor of Law, Stanford University Willis H.

THE CASE AGAINST COMPUTERS: A SYSTEMIC CRITIQUE -- Daring to discuss whether computers may be doing our world more harm than good. A NET FOR ALL: WHERE ARE THE MINORITIES? -- Examining how and to what degree minority groups participate on the net and asking whether social class is relevant to net participation or non-participation.
