Thoughts on Project GAIN

I was thinking this morning how our participation at the Morrisville Public Library in Project GAIN almost 15 years ago allowed us to take advantage of the promise of the internet to flatten the world for the better. The technology of the internet (rudimentary as it was at that time) allowed the people in our small rural community to offer their ideas, make global connections, and impact technology policies and law in own country and places as far away as Australia. Our involvement was one of those magic moments of synchronicity.

And in another magical synchronous way, last Thursday, Jean (Armor Polly) was at Mid-York for the Tech Atlas worskhop and we had a nice visit - she had the vision to make Project GAIN possible. I always learn so much from her. Perhaps we can get a copy of the Project GAIN video for the RR.
