I brought, and more questions. A heart-warming session with 40 Indian kids who seemed to get a glimpse of a future even they could participate in. And if I am right, by reaching these youth, starting with their own 'images of their inner selves' as Indians produced by such technologies, they may be better able to move on into the world of science, math, and the cold regions of technological and white man's society, while still not losing their identity or associations with each other. Perhaps even doing their life's work as professionals, from the reservation, thanks to these little devices. While a list of computer names would not be very helpful, a list of online resources is.
Resources can also be people.
An online forum on school networking or a work group on molecular biology are both Internet resources. Your understanding of the astonishing array of Internet resources, and how to get at them, will grow as you learn your way around the Internet. To better understand what the Internet is, you also need to understand what the Internet is not and what networks are not on the Internet. These connections are not, however, the seamless web that was mentioned earlier, where the participating networks interoperate to allow the same services. Instead, these are connections of convenience, that like marriages of the same sort have their purposes but not a lot of other interaction.
