Tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, John Kerry is holding a conference on improving the internet for America. Some of you may be members of Free Press and have already recieved an email about this, but for those of you who haven't, chech it out. One thing that is holding the progression of world-wide education is the lack of free public access high speed internet.
As we have studied, the internet is the easiest medium for people to learn about whats going on around them and to share their opinions and beliefs with others. But unfortunatly, the big media corporations control internet access and won't give it up without a fight. Progressive areas of our country, Northern California for example, have a head start on this issue. Soon the city of San Francisco will be completely wireless, allowing people who normally cannot afford the internet to have free high speed access to a whole world of knowledge. I can only hope that other cities will invest some of their education funds in the same manor.
Tomorrow America will have the (small) chance to progress this idea. Senator Kerry is holding a conference on free public high speed internet access.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to write to him via the hyperlink I have provided below. This is one of the most effective ways to help bring education to those who aren't as fortunate as we are! If you care about humanity, I'm sure you can spare the 10 minutes it takes to do this....
