On the NPR TED Radio Hour, Sunday 8th March, Newstalk FM:

'The End of Privacy':

Everyone expects a degree of privacy. But who holds the reins over our personal information? And does it matter if it's collected by government, by a search engine, or if we willingly give it away? This week, TED speakers explore ideas about our changing notions of privacy, the consequences and benefits.

Health IT expert John Wilbanks explores whether the desire to protect privacy is slowing research, and if opening up medical data could create a wave of health care innovation.

Behavioral economist Alessandro Acquisti studies how everyday decisions blur the line between our public and private lives.
