Hi All Maybe it is a mite paradoxical to discuss digital inequalities on SecondLife, which requires a potent computer and a fast internet connection, but the reading list is interesting. So here's the "slurl" to Berkman Island: <http://slurl.com/secondlife/Berkman/123/219/24/?x=400&y=400&img=http%3A//www.law.harvard.edu/programs/center_law/berkman_logo.gif&title=Welcome%20to%20Berkman%20Center%20for%20Internet%20and%20Society%20at%20Harvard%20Law%20School&msg=Berkman%20Island%20is%20the%20product%20of%20a%20collaboration%20between%20individuals%20associated%20with%20the%20real-life%20Berkman%20Center%20and%20Second%20Life%20citizens.%20Members%20of%20the%20community%20have%20helped%20landscape%2C%20enrich%2C%20and%20create%20unique%20content.%20For%20the%20purpose%20of%20the%20Beyond%20Broadcast%20conference%20%28http%3A//beyondbroadcast.net/blog/%29%2C%20we%20have%20built%20an%20inworld%20broadcasting%20center%20and%20a%203D%20replica%20of%20the%20Ames%20Courtroom%20at%20the%20Harvard%20Law%20School.> (with or without the period at the end - shorter one: <http://tinyurl.com/s6tv4>).
Best Claude ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Geoff McGovern <geoffmcg_at_gmail.com> Date: Mar 12, 2007 6:04 PM Subject: This Week in Internet & Society To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, This week's Internet & Society class will introduce a discussion of Digital Inequalities. The teaser: "Despite rapid growth and extended efforts on the part of international organizations, development agencies, and private investors to reach a broader audience, the vast majority of the world does not have effective Internet access. Alternatively, mobile telephones continue to proliferate, and already boast twice the users. Have we made any progress, is the future mobile, and what has come of the World Summit on the Information Society?" Class materials can be found here: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ptc/Technology_and_Development_I:_Digital_Inequalities Please join us on Tuesday night, 7:35-9:35 EST on Berkman Island In Second Life. Office Hours are Thursday, 9-10 EST. In addition, let me encourage you to take advantage of the Audio or Visual Production Assignment. Details can be found here: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ptc/Individual_Assignments#Assignment_3:_Audio_or_Video_Production If we get a good at-large involvement, we can have a listening/viewing party in SL. Previous classes have found this assignment particularly helpful. So why not try your hand at it? See you tomorrow, GeoffMcG Xi -- Claude Almansi v.
