Species and can hama with the e, working withy darwins origin of the species and ken ham working with the bible. The president spoke at a Safeway Grocery distributional center outside the Nations Capital for about 20 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. [hail to the chief] good morning, everybody. It is good to be here. I want to thank jack jacobs and all the partners at safeway for having us here today at this busy Distribution Center where delivery trucks get everything from doritos to diapers where they need to go.

I want to thank all the workers and Business People and labor leaders and environmental leaders who are here today as w
Hopefully the technology will work for us and we havent been hacked in the interim. Here we go. To move on why a book about cybersecurity and cyberwar and why now . For me, its best encapsulated by two quotes. The first is from president obama. He declared that cybersecurity risks posed quote a most serious economic and National Security challenges of the 21st century the second quote is from a former cia director who said quote rarely has something been so important and so talked about with less and less clarity and less apparent understanding. So that cross between something that is in front of me and important but less and less understanding again you can see it in all sorts of different ways and all sorts of different fields. For example 70 of business executives, and not 70 of cto circe s. Oz but executives in general have made some kind of cybersecurity decision for their Company Despite the fact that no Major Business Management Program teaches it as part of the normal responsib
From the Stevens Institute of technology in hoboken new jersey, this is an hour. [applause] thank you. I want to thank the deans of stevens to helping to host this and to john in particular for both organizing it and the kind introduction. So i am old enough that i remember the very first time i ever saw and then used a computer. My dad took me to a Science Center in North Carolina at the age of seven where he learned how to program this amazing device to design a smiley face out of a series of letter ms and then i printed out on one of those oldschool principles with the perforated paper on the side that was my First Experience with computers. Since then the centrality of computers to my life but all our lives is its almost impossible without them. For example we live in a world where every year over 40 trillion emails are sent. The first webpage was made in 1991. There is now more than 30 trillion individual webpages out there. Moreover, the internet is no longer about compiling and
Good evening, and welcome to tos meeting of the Commonwealth Club of california, the place where youre in the know. You can find the Commonwealth Club on the internet at commonwealthclub. Org. Im Andrew Leonard from salon. Com, your moderator for this evenings program. To my left is Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew Mcafee who are researchers at the Mit Sloan School of management. Erik is the directer of the mit center for Digital Business and andrew is the Principal Research scientist. The two men made a name for themselves a couple of years ago with their selfpublished book, race against the machine, which kind of coalesced some emerging nervousness about the fact that automation is really beginning to replace jobs at higher and higher levels. They followed this up with a bigger book, the second machine age work, progress and prosperity in a time of brilliant technologies. And its really, i think everybody in this room will understand how timely this is. In the San Francisco and greater b
His pistol and a russian Cruise Missile missile. These are all one in the same because they involve the technology and the chemistry of gunpowder, right quest of course not, we would never do that but somehow its accessible in this space. Or take the organizations for example i had a senior u. S. Military official argue with me that and al qaeda were the same thing. Wherever you stand on anonymous and i have a good outfit i am more pathetic towards them than anyone in the d. C. s security establishment but the bottom line is wherever you stand on than they differ from al qaeda in everything from their organization, their personnel, their profile, there means, their ends, pretty much the only thing they share is they are doctors that begin with the letter a. These gaps in understanding the disconnect of policy reality intact knowledge he mean that we are not only seeing growing tension. Its one of the things that is feeding into the u. S. China relationship but it also means we are bein
