Electronic Village - some items from the "Community
Networking Briefing Book" a major theme of which
is "Community Networking."
Goal: to increase the capacity
of the community to adapt to a rapidly changing 21st
century society and to use technology to solve increasingly
complex community challenges.
A community network meets
this goal by:
Providing telecommunications
infrastructure and technology resources for its use,
Creating public "cyberplaces" in support of "knowledge
democracy" and "social capital," Increasing opportunities
for e-commerce and access to global economic opportunities,
Offering citizens educational and growth opportunities
for the future. |
