Presentation at the Fourth Annual ECAR/HP Summer Symposium for Higher Education IT Executives, July 13-15, 2005, New Castle Island, New Hampshire.

In this talk, Farber shares his thoughts on the state of networking and on complex social issues such as convergence and internationalization and the trade-offs between safety and liberty in the network context.
