After Dinner Speakers: Clifford Stoll, Steve Coogan, Harry Enfield
Clifford Stoll became world renound after releasing his best-selling book, "The Cuckoo's Egg", a true story about he caught a ring of hackers who were stealing military secrets and selling them on to the KGB. Stoll is also a MSNBC Commentator,Berkley Astronomer and lecturer, his other publications include "Silicon Snake Oil:Second thoughts on the Information Highway".He explains to his audiences why he believes technology, especially computers have taken over our lives.
