- **Event Description**: Join us in the library to explore how the internet is making life cooler and easier for everyone!About this EventLectures in the Library: How the Internet Benefits HumanityJoin us to hear Eric Goldman (Santa Clara University Associate Dean of Research, Professor of Law and Co-Director, Datta Center for High Tech Law) give a lecture on how the Internet creates pro-social benefits and how regulation will be shrinking those benefits to communities who desperately need them.Given the time and energy we spend worrying about the Internet‘s flaws, it’s easy to forget how the Internet makes our lives better in many ways. This talk will highlight one under appreciated aspect: how the Internet has the capacity to improve the human species by increasing pro-social interactions and reducing anti-social ones. The talk will also show how this scenario probably won’t be realized because of misguided regulatory efforts to “fix” the Internet.
