As part of his official visit to the United States, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves of the Republic of Estonia visited Stanford University on Friday, May 23 to speak about “Evolving into a Genuinely Digital Society.”
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and Stanford Professor Michael McFaul introduced President Ilves noting how fitting it was that a lecture about building a digital society be delivered in Silicon Valley by a head of state who learned computer programming at the age of thirteen.
