What's happening with the California fires is horrible, but there is a wonderful story out of Big Sur. Here's a good way the digital world is having an immediate impact to make lives better. It's prophetic, I think of the way we will communicate on a community level when some major disaster occurs.
While what this site is doing is very altruistic and community minded, what the web site's very existence raises, however, is a question of the digital divide. What about those who can't afford to have access to a computer, Blackberry, telephone or other digital device? Does this kind of communicating still give power to the few who have the tools?
What do we do about making today's technology available to everyone? Should access to the Internet be a right?
