Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Andy Carvin) Good morning.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(inaudible) ... moments that I really had no idea what Joey was talking about (laughter)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he'd ask me a few minutes ago to critique his introductory remarks
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, you know, all I did was this (laughter)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For those of you who are listening to the podcast of that,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was doing a "We're not worthy" kind of .... (laughter)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, I am recording this.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For those of you who are contemplating taking notes [inaudible - not]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you really don't have to because the presentation, this powerpoint,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is already on my blog, andycarvin.com .
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's been released on what's called a Creative Commons license
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll talk about that later,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that basically mean you can use it almost any way you want.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with that little digital recorder I have here I'm going to be taping my presentation
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and making it available as a podcast on my blog as well.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you really insist about taking notes, you know, (inaudible - it)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you're on the fence about it like I am about these kinds of things,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't worry about it, hang back and instead it would be better for you
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be thinking about some really good questions to throw me by the end of this presentation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, first of all what exactly is the Digital Divide?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The term has been around for at least 10 years, now,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably since 1992, 1993.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it often gets used in very different ways.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, one of the very first uses of the Digital Divide I ever heard
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was on a Greatful Dead's discussion list in the early 90's,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where Dead Head (check) was describing the challenges he had
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recording Greateful Dead's concerts,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he was about to make the leap from analog recording to digital recording
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so, he was asking for assistance in bridging this digital divide.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He could easily have been the one to claim the coinage
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but (unclear) the term has evolved since then to mean a variety of things (2:02)
