11:45 TED Guest Speaker: The Dark Net- Inside the Digital Underworld

Beyond the familiar online world that most of us inhabit lies a vast network of sites, communities and cultures where freedom is pushed to its limits. A world that is as creative and complex as it is dangerous and disturbing. A world that is much closer than you think. In this session, Jamie gives a revelatory examination of the internet today, and of its most innovative and dangerous subcultures. You’ll get a glimpse of human nature under the conditions of freedom and anonymity, and shine a light on this enigmatic and ever-changing world.
