Bravo for Brother Senor Reddy~~ The great high-tech chasm between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' persists, but the power of the Internet can help bridge cultures and peoples in ways unknown to generations before.
Yes, information is power. For example, I could not access the New York Times Article in its Archives without paying for it and stuff. Was it originally posted in its entirety or just a Forward? I am just are a poor man, one of those pesty 'have-nots', trying to make ends meet and survive the day. Much to be done before night falls.

Mr. Reddy, a pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence and a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, plans to unveil at the end of this year his new project, called the PCtvt, a $250 wirelessly networked personal computer intended for the four billion people around the world who live on less than $2,000 a year. He says his device can find a market in developing countries, particularly those with large populations of people who cannot read, because it can be controlled by a simple TV remote control and can function as a television, telephone and videophone. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/16/technology/16combo.html Andy Carvin acarvin at edc dot org _______________________________________________ ===== Fight for Humane Liberation For All !
