Even if this project or product doesn't work the best on the first round, I love that people are willing to admit and act on the idea that technology IS affordable and accessible to everyone. Information and technology now go firmly hand in hand and it is a common thought of the free world that information should be a right of the people. With echnology being a facilitator of this premis, it is no longer a frivolous want. It is fast becoming a need in our advancing world. This is the beginning of the formation of a true "middle ground" where the well-established tech companies MUST meet with the progressive, hungry minds of the information needy and tech saavy. We've already seen this shift in software with Apple's cultivation and support of true open-source programming and innovations for smaller third-party developers. If necessity is the mother of all invention I'd say a need will begin to be met in this capacity. I say "Bravo!" This is a great initiative.
