Closed economic systems only work for so long. Rural America’s challenge is how to revitalize local economies while we look up at Wal-mart and across the ether at Amazon and Google. How do we make use of these beasts, learn lessons from San Fransisco and Austin while creating our own uses and realities. We can drive the next round of discussions around technology. We are the next growth area because we have been largely left out.
For every home owner who can’t get connected to the Internet.
For every person who rolls their eyes at discussion of cell phones and smart phones because there is no signal.
For every River Road business owner who can’t figure out how to survive in a world of Walmart cheap and Google free.
This is for you.
