Internet Day 2018 “Young people vs. robots—straight out of a fairy tale?” will be held on 29 March
For
the fourth time, Eesti Interneti SA is organising a conference dedicated to the
Internet. The main topics of the conference are potential technological fairy
tales, such as virtual currencies, Generation Z, robot’s rights and obligations
as well as social concerns and internet addictions in children and young
people.
The Internet Day 2018 will focus on discussing whether smart
technologies, such as the Internet of things, virtual currency, self-driving
and flying cars, blockchain technology, AI and Generation Z, a new generation
of young people, are real or just a mix of marketing, technology rage and
wishful thinking. We will also talk about robots and whether ‘what is
permissible for a man is not permissible for a robot’. Do robots need rest
time? Is it necessary to tax companies that replace people with robots? Should
such taxes be imposed on robots themselves? What kind of new legal space does
robotics need? The third topic of discussion is “Young people and the
information society.” What is the currency for the young people of information
society? Internet ‘fame’ and counting ‘likes’? To ‘like’, or not to ‘like’,
that is the question! Is a young person in real life the same happy person we
see in a photo or a video? Do you know where the Internet is going? We don’t, but our goal is to move closer to that knowledge!
These and other intriguing topics will be discussed by Henrik Roonemaa, Kaidi Ruusalepp, Linnar Viik, Tanet Tammet, Karmen Turk, Joona Saluveer, Marten Kaevats, Evelin Pärn-Lee, Birgy Lorenz, Kätlin Kostabel, Maarja Punak and Jasper Rebane.
The working language of the Internet Day 2018 is Estonian. The event is free for participants. More information http://päev.internet.ee/2018

How can you prevent your .ee domain from being unexpectedly deleted and auctioned?
From time to time, we receive feedback from domain owners that, to their dismay, one or another .ee domain is either about to be deleted or has already been deleted and put up for auction. At the same time, there is a clear procedure in place to prevent such cases on the sides of the registrar, the registry, and the registrant. That is what we are discussing.
