  • From Atoms to Bits

    From Atoms to Bits

    Identity and Privacy in a Globalized Community By Joichi Ito June 17, 2002 Version 1.0 See http://www.neoteny.com/jito/english/notebook/privars.html for updates From atoms to bits In his Wired Magazine column of January 1, 1995 “Bits and Atoms” Nicholas Negroponte’ describes the shift in focus from atoms to bits.1 The shift from atoms to bits is still one of the most significant shifts impacting society today. As with most technical trends, people have over-anticipated the short term impact (the dot-com bubble) but have severely under-estimated the long term impact. The impact of digital communication networks and globalization on identities and nations The industrial revolution triggered a cultural shift causing nations to become powerful entities in a globalized geo-political world. The world began to focus on the products of mass production and the world began to focus mostly on the “atoms”. Individuals became able to travel easily and individuals began to be identified and tracked as physical units and physical borders rigorously managed. Digital communication technology and cyberspace has increased greatly the power and value of the non-physical world and is affecting the nature of national borders and identity. Here I would like to explore some of the changes facing an era of digital transnational communications, focusing on value shifting to cyberspace and its impact on identity, authentication and privacy. Scalability of communications as profound as mass production Although cyberspace and bits are rather new, non-physical space is an old idea. A major step toward large-scale shared virtual communities and the scalability of communications was the creation of the printing press and the public.

    Eighteen Major New York Area Museums Participate in Instagram Swap

    EIGHTEEN MAJOR NEW YORK AREA MUSEUMS PARTICIPATE IN INSTAGRAM SWAP THE FRICK COLLECTION PAIRS WITH NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, eighteen major New York City area institutions have joined forces to celebrate their unique collections and spaces on Instagram. All day today, February 2, the museums will post photos from this exciting project. Each participating museum paired with a sister institution, then set out to take photographs at that institution, capturing objects and moments that resonated with their own collections, exhibitions, and themes. As anticipated, each organization’s unique focus offers a new perspective on their partner museum. Throughout the day, the Frick will showcase its recent visit to the New-York Historical Society on its Instagram feed using the hashtag #MuseumInstaSwap. Posts will emphasize the connections between the two museums and libraries, both cultural landmarks in New York and both beloved for highlighting the city’s rich history. The public is encouraged to follow and interact to discover what each museum’s Instagram staffer discovered in the other’s space. A complete list of participating museums follows: American Museum of Natural History @AMNH The Museum of Modern Art @themuseumofmodernart Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum @intrepidmuseum Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum @cooperhewitt Museum of the City of New York @MuseumofCityNY New Museum @newmuseum 1 The Museum of Arts and Design @madmuseum Whitney Museum of American Art @whitneymuseum The Frick Collection

    [Comments] International Internet Policy (NTIA)

    Regulatory Comment Comments submitted to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the Matter of: INTERNATIONAL INTERNET POLICY PRIORITIES Ryan Hagemann Alec Stapp Senior Director for Policy Technology Policy Fellow Niskanen Center Niskanen Center Submitted: July 17, 2018 Docket Number: 180124068-8068-01 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the primary challenges to the continued free flow of information and speech online is the potential for a “control-driven model” of global Internet governance to supplant the existing American-inspired order. National laws and regulations, promulgated by countries around the world, could potentially impede cross- border information flows, to the significant detriment of not only U.S. companies and private sector interests, but free expression and human rights as well. But the threats to the current paradigm of multistakeholder-driven Internet governance do not spring only from nation-states. The emerergence of advanced technologies, such as automated botnets, hold the potential to devolve considerable power over the globally-networked digital ecosystem into the hands of non-state actors. It is a fragile time for the Internet. To combat these many emerging threats, it is imperative that the United States continue to play a leading role in defending the existing order for Internet governance. Digital commerce and trade requires a consistent, predictable, and simple legal environment to maximize the benefits to human beings worldwide. The right to freedom of expression, similarly, requires certainty and trust in an online environment made possible by a consensus-driven model of governance, led by stakeholders from industry and civil society capable of equitably balancing the complicated trade-offs that no single nation-state can do by fiat.
