The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has been enlightening us for free and for years. More than once I've emerged from the RSA no lighter of pocket but informed, fed, tipsy and holding a new book. I should probably keep this to myself but I'd really recommend signing up for their email notifications. To come to the point, there's a panel session with expert witnesses on June 19th on whether privacy is a thing of the past - the focus will be Facebook and other online social networking services:

"Are younger people being hopelessly naive by putting so much private information online – unaware of the later consequences? Will we all have to get used to a world where there is almost no boundary between public and private life? What are the implications for society when people reveal so much about themselves to the world?"

If you miss it, don't worry - they always podcast and sometimes they even v(ide)ocast (and they do that very well if you only watch one thing, I recommend Jonathan Zittrain's The Future Of The Internet And How to Stop It for a performance and a half from somebody who is concerned about our online rights and freedoms). Talking of which, please take our latest poll - if recordings of your lectures were available, would you turn up?
