Google is looking to conduct an experiment where they will provide ultra high speed broadband internet to a community in the United States. Here in Dayton, a group has organized a campaign to bring this project to Dayton. I love the idea, and thought I would do my part to support the cause. The group, which includes both for-profit and non-profit organizations in the region has a web site — http://averageandawesome.com that has some fun with some aspects of Dayton and builds on our innovative heritage. I think the concept is clever, and I hope you take a moment to check it out.
I decided I would do as the site asks, and create a short video telling Google what I would do with their awesome fiber network. At the time of this post, I was not able to upload my video, so I went ahead and put it on YouTube. I have a “help ticket” in, so hopefully I can put it on the Average and Awesome site soon too. Anyway, here is my fun little video for Google.
How about you? What would you do with ultra high speed broadband internet? Why not make your own video or leave a comment and let me know what types of things you might do should Google choose Dayton.
We’ve put up our video– the Dayton Grassroots Daily Show– http://esrati.com/the-dayton-development-coalition-is-listening-to-esrati-com/4563/ and on youtube– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZm_vPlwjdU&feature=player_embedded
however– I’m not sure the people at http://www.averageandawesome.com are going to put up any subversive discussion…
You do a great job of being nice…
hmmmm…
Saw your video and got a good laugh. You and Greg make some great points. Ideally, others create their videos, blog posts, tweets, and facebook updates in hopes of bringing the G to the DYT. Worst case we create some fun content, and make some new connections. As for the nice stuff — I am what I am. Thanks for the comment David. Hope all is well.
