We are a non-profit organization, based in Seattle, Washington, focused on model project development. Working in a collaborative manner, we search for ways to enhance participation in the digital environment of the 21st Century. We do work in many parts of the US as well as Latin America if and when there is a direct relationship of similar issues between communities in the two areas. The Technology Resource Center is dedicated to searching for and stimulating an overall integrated, systematic and holistic approach to addressing the underlying issues which cause whole areas of this country and of the world to be left behind in gaining access to the richness brought to those who are digitally connected. We believe that access to the electronically mediated world will be essential to one's "ability to function in a democratic society." The right not to be excluded - the right of access - becomes more and more important in a world increasingly made up of electronic communications among people. When much of our social, economic, and political lives take place in the virtual world of cyberspace, questions of access will become paramount and the right not to be excluded will become critical. How do we do our work? The focus of the Technology Resource Center is on developing technology-supported approaches which address the underlying issues causing this ever widening access gap. The scale of this problem, and the solutions required, are of a magnitude which no single organization or government can solve. In order for such a problem to be addressed, a fundamental change needs to occur within society, which must be initiated within the local community. Our particular focus is on one critical segment of the population caught in this access gap, the population between 25 and 40 years of age. By developing strategies which address access issues faced by this group, two generations - theirs and their children's may be positively influenced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Computer and Internet Policy Research and Design Fieldwork Waitt Family Foundation Technology Resource Center seeks an Information School fieldwork student to build a web-based tool that will allow users to create standardized computer and Internet policies for computer labs.
