Hi, I saw your email address on a web page and thought you might be able to help us. We're looking for on-line pioneers to help us capture a global portrait of life in the new, digital renaissance. On 10/10 the Media Lab is hosting "A Day in the Life of Cyberspace." We are trying to find people whose lives have been touched deeply by digital media and the Net: - kids, teachers, families, newlyweds, pets on the Web; - people in war-torn areas like Bosnia or Tibet who can stay in touch with humanity because of the Net; - the youngest and oldest users - people in every country on earth, - astronauts in orbit (we will link to the space shuttle on 10/10 if the launch proceeds) - .... For instance, my Aunt Min is 80 and has her checkup every month by holding a telephone to her chest: the remote computer diagnoses her pacemaker! Or, during the riots in Tiananmen Square, real news reached the outside world first through e-mail networks. The Pope's mass on 10/8 will be "cybercast" into the Web. If you can help contribute to this, by sending pictures, sounds, or words, or if you know someone who might, please browse http://www.1010.org/. You can also send mail to info@1010.org for an automatic help response (Tell it: "send description" for a longer explanation). By the way, keep watching the web site for daily changes--with real surprises on the 10th! Please help spread the word! Thanks, - Steve
