Hi Roy

I just ran across an interesting web site, new to me, that I would like to
tell "the list" about on "technorealism".  Learned about it through an
article on pay phone charges in the Monday, March 30 edition  of the
Washington Post ("Getting Nickel and Dimed - Technology is About Change --
or Lack Thereof-- at Pay Phones", by Brian Krebs).

The web site, at --- www.technorealism.org. --- includes a list of
"principles of technorealism", such as: "technology is not neutral",
"wiring the schools will not save them" and, "the public owns the airways
and the public should should benefit from their use";  There is a reading
list too.

This seems like a good resource for citizens who are seeking to understand
the impact of new and expanding technology, such as wireless digital, on
their lives.  Information available through this site might help citizens
develop sounder and rational approaches in expressing their concerns to
industry and government.
  
Best Regards,

Libby Kelley
