Description
Technology is in the news, and the news is not good: people worry that public perception can be altered by misinformation spread through social media, and even the U.S. Congress is considering regulating technology to make it safer. But this problem, and even this legislative response, is not new. In her talk, Dr. Shelangoskie looks back at the history of deception with proto-digital technologies like the telegraph and photography. Since the earliest days of these media, there has been a cycle of creative crimes and responsive regulations, resulting in entertaining stories!
