On February 2 at 7PM, the Newton Free Library will host emerging-technologies attorney John Frank Weaver discussing the technological changes coming soon in what MIT’s Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee call The Second Machine Age.  Weaver, who is author of Robots Are People Too and a contributing writer with Slate, will also explain why our laws are so important during this period.  Drawing on precedents between the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of wireless communications, he will analyze current government efforts and provide strategies for future legislation.
