The Tech Company Town: When Corporations Replace the State - Dr. Herb Lin, Stanford's Hoover Institute

Did you think the world's richest entities were
governments? Think again! 71 of the richest 100 organizations are
corporations, not countries. Is a high-tech version of the
old-tech company town in store for humans? This week is all about
trying to answer what seems like a simple question - would you
want to live in a town that's run by the government, or one
that's run by a bright and shiny high-tech giant?


Cyber-security expert Herb Lin joins us to talk about
what that world might look like, and also sheds some light on
what a corporate internet means for dwindling freedoms on the
internet, the price that humans have to pay in return for
security, and the difficulty of establishing consistent, robust
standards for something as complex as the internet. In return for
security, humans of the future might find themselves living in
the tech generation’s version of a company town.
