PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

LAURA JACOB

Firsts and Goals

I

t's my honor to write to you for the first time
as President of the IEEE Society on the Social
Implications of Technology.
It's been an exciting and daunting challenge
to take the helm from Gerald Engel, who has given so
much, both to our Society and to the IEEE as a whole.
Over the past year, SSIT has been working hard to
expand our reach. We've launched a Facebook group,
Twitter, and Flickr feeds, and grown our LinkedIn
presence - if you are on Facebook or LinkedIn, join
us! Our magazine has expanded and our membership
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MTS.2013.2247722
Date of publication: 14 March 2013

has grown. ISTAS '12 in Singapore was a great event
with fascinating speakers.
Over the next year, I have several goals for our
society. First and foremost, we are all working hard
to make ISTAS '13 in Toronto another great event.
The theme this year is Wearable Computing - a wide
ranging topic with implications in Biotechnology, digital privacy, and many other fields. We are also planning to expand our web presence even further - you'll
be hearing a lot more about this over the next year.
I hope you'll join us as we investigate new platforms
and discuss the social implications of technology. Join
our Facebook or LinkedIn group. Subscribe to our
Twitter or Flickr feed. Join the discussion!

Laura Jacob, 2013 IEEE-SSIT President, is with Factset Research Systems, Norwalk, CT 06851. She can be reached at
