2021: Computing’s Divided Future
China and the West's fundamental systemic differences and growing geopolitical competition are increasingly open. The new reality is pulling the computing community apart, and spilling over into the academic and research communities.
What Do DDT and Computing Have in Common?
In addition to reaping computing's bounty (education, information access, entertainment, commerce, efficiency, and more), we should "own" and work to reduce the negative impacts of computing.
Launching a New Feature in Communications
