This lecture ran on Thursday, 25 June 2021 from 18:00 to 19:30
The presentation examined the threats and opportunities within the Cyber Age. At its core is the debate around between the rights of privacy against the rights of society to detect threats, and in the growth of the devices which connect to the Internet.

It used wide range of fun and interesting demonstrations to showcase the opportunities and threats within this Age, including parallels of modern-day surveillance and the usage of intelligent devices, from visionary writers such as George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, and others, along with movies such as 2001: Space Oddity.
