Hello to the DDN Community, The Center for Media & Community at EDC takes pride in the selection of Andy Carvin, CMC Program Director, as one of Technology Review Magazine's annual TR35 recipients, awarded to 35 high-tech innovators under the age of 35. Among other winners whose achievements are shaping the world we live in are Bram Cohen, developer of Bit Torrent software; Stewart Butterfield of Flickr.com; and Regina Barzilay at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is teaching computers how to read and write. Andy, a technology activist for more than a decade, was honored for his work with the Digital Divide Network and for promoting the concept of mobcasting - groups of people collectively using mobile phones to post podcasts.
Our thanks to everyone who nominated Andy for the award, including members of DDN, WWWEDU and LM_NET, and especially to Rebecca MacKinnon, Patsy-Wang Iverson, Brendan Greeley and Taran Rampersad who joined me in supporting the nomination. A celebration for the honoree's is scheduled later this month at MIT and we extend hearty congratulations to Andy and the other recipients for their contributions in the digital age.
