The potluck will be this coming Friday, Jan 20 with dinner at 6 PM and discussion from 7 to 8 PM, bring some food to share for the dinner and ideas to share for the potluck.

The location will be 900 Idaho Ave, Ames, IA.

We'll have a discussion about technology: what it means, what is appropriate technology, and how we deal with the risks that technology presents. This potluck, we're making an explicit effort to move away from expert-driven discussion, so be sure to bring ideas, opinions, and examples about technology to the group.

To get ready for the discussion, perhaps you would like to read an essay by a German person:

or watch a video by some French people:

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to embed either of these. Hope to see people there!
