What you will learn: Ed and Hazel will discuss her latest insightful article, “Time to Rethink our Technology Choices.” This 15-minute read pulls from Hazel’s decades of experience on the global technology stage leading to her call to revive the dormant Office of Technology Assessment. OTA would arm Congress and its staff with the knowledge needed to make a fact-based budget and statutory decisions and rely less on lobbyists and other special-interest influences.
