Todd Carpenter’s presentation “Could Science Get Stuck in the Slow Lane?; Background on Net Neutrality and Why Researchers Should Care” on August 11, 2015
Network neutrality has been at the center of intense political discussions about Internet regulation. Net neutrality is the principle that all content on the Internet should be equally available to users without discrimination by service providers. Establishing legal protections for net neutrality is a necessary component to providing equitable access to online educational materials and services.
The network effect is one of the most vital competitive advantages, and it can also rapidly change the firms to the lead in new industries/businesses .A network effect is a phenomenon when a service/product becomes more valuable as the number of people who use it increases, thereby encouraging the numbers of adopters.
It can also occur when other firms make products/services that is ancillary to an existing product/services, hence increases that product's value. The classic example of the Network effects is the telephone. The more the number of people who own telephones, the more is the value of the telephone network is to each owner. The network effect is quite often the result of word-of-mouth activities.

What’s our stack: process, technology, community and ideas for the future of RTIDavid Eaves
David Eaves Keynote from the Access & Privacy 2020 Conference in Vancouver, BC, October 2013
In this talk David talks about how technology has driven Right to Information movements in the past and how Open Government, Gov20 and others advocates should use apply those lesson to advocate for changes in the future.
For more than 20 years the Internet was narrowed down to the usage
of a few tech-savvy that knew how to navigate it. It’s only in 1993-94
that it became mainstream when Marc Andreessen created
the Mosaic browser while studying at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and brought the Internet to the
general public allowing them to navigate the web comfortably with a
positive user-friendly experience. And, for the first time user could
establish an active presence over the internet by loading their own
documents, photos, sounds, video clips, and hypertext “links” to
other documents. And just like that, navigation of the internet started
to have a meaning and it made sense to a layman.
In the blockchain world, Bitcoin (2008) was the first application of the
technology, the most disruptive, and its first wave of users, just like in
the first internet era, was also more on the technical savvy
side. Despite significant immunization of capital into the blockchain
space, we have not had yet an incredible app or project that could
compare to Mosaic or Netscape.

This provides a deep intro to the blockchain technology, and explores several use-cases within healthcare where it could lead to disruption and add value
This presentation describes Internet Innovation in various ways -- continuous service delivery, containers, block chains, and federated data. It makes a case that Internet innovation did not end in 2000, but is continuing in a very strong manner that is likely to affect US productivity and job growth.
Blockchain, Predictive Analytics and HealthcareRuchi Dass
Episode-of-care payment and comprehensive care payment systems can help providers prevent health problems; prevent the occurrence of acute episodes among individuals who have health conditions; prevent poor outcomes during major acute episodes, such as infections, complications, and hospital readmissions; and reduce the costs of successful treatment.
Using cryptography to keep exchanges secure, blockchain provides a decentralized database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network is essentially a chain of computers that must all approve an exchange before it can be verified and recorded.

Trends in Law Practice Management – Calculating the RisksNicole Garton
Presented by the CBA’s Legal Profession Assistance Conference, the Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association and the National Law Practice Management and Technology Section live via webconference.
The advantages of cloud computing, virtual or online law practices and unbundling of legal services are getting a lot of press – convenience to clients, reduced overhead expenses, remote access, and enhanced access to justice are among the benefits touted. But there are also very real and practical risks, and ethical implications, for each new tool or practice implemented. As these trends infiltrate legal practice in North America, lawyers and law firm leaders need to exercise due diligence to assess the potential risks and benefits.
Our panelists, Nicole Garton-Jones and David Bilinsky will provide a practical overview of these trends in law practice management. In doing so, they’ll provide you with tools to reduce the risk and identify the questions you need to ask yourself, as well as potential third party service providers, your insurers and your law society, when conducting your own risk-benefit analysis.

Blockchain Innovation In Healthcare & Life SciencesIFAH
A session by Michael Irish, CEO, Vivacitas Healthcare on the topic of 'Blockchain Innovation In Healthcare & Life Sciences' at IFAH USA 2019 held at Caesars Palace, 18-20 June, 2019.
When consumer products get switched on, brands will be able to deploy new IoT-based applications and services throughout the full product lifecycle. But what role will blockchains play in this, and is the hype about its potential justified?
This white paper will show you which use cases are best suited to blockchains and how to assess whether a blockchain-based solution is really needed.
Has the washing machine changed the world more than the Internet? Do the latest technological advances really free translators or just tether them to their desks more than before? Why should one consider switching to cloud computing? We will search an answer to these questions by discussing cloud computing and collaborative translation technology to make process simpler, lean, and parallel and face the new translation industry mantra of “cheaper, faster, and better” to meet the growth in volume, velocity, and volatility. Doing more with less costs more, and technology is not enough; it must always be coupled with people.
