As a long-time public sector Chief Information Officer I have always focused on building community-not just building bedrooms. Several years ago, we identified three goals. The first was to lay out a plan that would bring our city onto the playing field with the top “connected” cities in the nation. The second was to create increased competition among technology providers in our metropolitan edge community. And our third goal was to position homes in the city for a future of ultra high-speed Internet, futuristic digital and high definition television and entertainment and mobile communications.

As children grow up they have to face quite a few disappointments in life. They learn that pixies, the tooth fairy, and that other guy in the red suit don’t exist. They discover that green vegetables are not merely a garnish; and they encounter the QWERTY keyboard.
The child puts in a great deal of effort going through the daily positive brainwashing process of learning the letters of the alphabet; a-for-apple, b-for-ball, c-for-cat… until finally all twenty-six are imprinted in his or her mind in the correct order and a world of reading and writing awaits. A lot of the latter part of this world will be explored using word processing packages such as Microsoft Word, and children these days are introduced to these programs at an early age.
