A2: Google Fiber

By

The author of the Emerging Technologies Librarian blog shares some thoughts on Ann Arbor’s attempt to be selected for the Google Fiber initiative: “I think Google made a small error in their promotional material for this competition by highlighting fast download times for movies. Yes, that is a great hook for getting people interested, but I don’t think Google really wants to hear about how every community in the US wants faster access to movies and entertainment. Unfortunately, once folk got that in their minds, some of them got stuck there. So let go of the fluff, and think about what really matters, and how to use better tech to provide better service, be a better community, to do good.” [Source]
