8:00pm Keynote: Ethics in the World of 1s and 0s with Mr. Shiva Rajagopal (NV 2011; Staph 2012, 2014), Firmware Engineer, Fitbit

Computers are becoming increasingly pervasive in our every-day lives, sometimes in ways that we can't see. With this growth, technology is giving rise to new ethical dilemmas that affect everyone. These include who has access to technology and the internet, what these people experience while using technology, and even the effect it has on our mental and physical health. This lecture will discuss some of the most "hot-button" ethical dilemmas technology has presented us to date, and hopes to spark discussion about how we, as users of it, can go about solving these dilemmas.
