Fredric Markus writes: "What's yet to be explored is the potential for routine public access beyond the thousands of home computers - Internet kiosks like those already in place at the University of Minnesota - and a wide understanding in our population that this information vehicle can be as normal and as accepted in our lifestyles..." ...as a public telephone is? Seems to me there is a huge untapped potential here. A friend of mine spent time in Honduras and down there everybody expects to go to some public place like a coffe shop to use a computer. I spent time in Europe, and there all the youth hostels offer purchase of internet time on computers in addition to offering telephones. There's a huge potential here. I'm not in the entreprenurial market right now but I'd love to see this idea blossom in MNPLS like it is around the rest of the world.
