First Mile Questions (ideas)

How is your community connected? What is the history of connections in your community? Now your community is connected, what, if anything, changed? Do people think it’s important to be connected? Why or why not? How do people use the Internet? For work? At home? Do people face challenges in using new technologies? Do these technologies making a difference in your community? Are there challenges that come with these technologies?
