Lucy has finally connected to the conference wifi--the username and password were kind of a secret, for some reason.
Our opening keynote speaker was, once again, Lee Rainie, the director of the Interent and American Use Project of the Pew Charitable trust. He was his usual witty and dynamic self, giving his usual rapid-fire, number-filled addres. Most startling information: 50% of Americans are categorized as "light users"--no broadband, no content creators, no gaming. Most inspiring statement: "Be confident in what you already know about how to meet people’s ref and entertainment (or enlightenment) needs. The value of our work is more important than ever."
Gotta go--low battery.
