You are right about the digital divide. It will be interesting to see what solutions society comes up with to deal with this issue. Hi Randy. You are welcome to write for ADNW or future projects anytime! As you can tell, I really like to write and appreciate your perspective and positive feedback.

Seriously, I agree with everything you and Chris had to say. Your line about the BestBuy Cd's really hit home. I don't view myself as "cutting edge" in technology, even though I use Blogs, Websites and work daily with programs like Photoshop. If you have kids in the house, watching them chew up the latest tech toy is proof enough for me. The days of paper magazines are out the door. Great writing, Lee. “I too could band together with a few of my closest art aficionados” – Count me in!

I have no doubt that touch computing will become ubiquitous in time. Personally, I love the simplicity and intuitive operation of my iPhone. Apple’s new iPad and inevitable knock-offs will create a new, even richer experience to readers and consumers. The digital revolution continues to democratize markets that were once the domain of professionals. This is evidenced by desktop publishing in the ‘90s, and, as you point out, the rapid proliferation of platforms like web and blog publishing, along with easy to produce and distribute audio/video recordings, thanks cheap production software and YouTube. Regrettably, the <i>digital divide</i> still exists within our society. A recent survey found that 40% of households do not have access to high-speed or broadband Internet. Without access to affordable, high-speed connectivity, the conveniences and benefits that the iPad and other touch devices offer will be experienced only by the privileged.
