The Story:
Why I support the development of an International Data Network
by Oliver Seely, California State University Dominguez Hills
The incidents I’m going to relate below are things that would never have happened if the Internet were not available to me. Though bordering on the trivial, and perhaps not the kinds of things that would look good in a proposal, they still represent a lively and certainly not unproductive experimentation with the new world of electronic information transmission.

Colleen is writing a paper on pollution. She wants to talk about air pollution in France (she is a member of CAUSERIE). I had some material available to me in French which I sent to her. She replied with thanks this morning and asked that I keep looking for more material for her. Colleen lives in Vermont and attends St. Michael’s College.
