When there are too many closures to announce on the air, a word search on the web site could yield the specific information an individual needs. I believe that one of the primary barriers to technological access is the perception that there is a value in the technology. I don't feel that the technology required for Internet access need be any more difficult to obtain than television. Currently, computers are only beginning to appear in significant numbers of homes in the most developed countries, but I don't think that will always be the case. By way of example, I recall walking through the shanty towns of Sao Paulo Brazil only to find that most of the shacks had televisions.
Televisions provide cheap entertainment for an otherwise unbearable environment.
That is a value. If there is a value in the Internet, I think most people will find a way to get it, given time and awareness. My target are professionals and policy makers in the environmental professions, so I want to provide a product that is valuable to that group.
